I woke up this morning and for some reason my mind turned to how I could adapt my current wiring module into an HVAC and plumbing path finding plugin. After some considerable thought I decided that a completely different approach needs to be taken, especially with plumbing.
Unlike wire, plumbing is just a bunch of straight sections of pipe that are then coupled together by various off the shelf fittings:
What this means is that like the Simpson hardware within the Wall plugin I will need to model up a good number of low poly fittings for PVC-DWV, ABS-DWV, CPVC, copper, PVC Sch 40 and Sch 80. It would be really nice if I could get accurate models from the manufacturers themselves but that is probably a long shot.
Unless you take into account PEX

Pex and other flexible hoses are a whole different ball of wax.

i think McMaster-Carr has a bunch of models you can download and import into SU using the universal importer plugin. McMaster-Carr
also, the Engineering Toolbox may have some to get started.
