pipe system
Building's fluid arteries
A pipe system is an interconnected network of pipes designed to transport fluids—water, gas, oil, sewage, or steam—from one location to another.
The term covers everything from household plumbing to industrial infrastructure: The building's pipe system needs to be flushed annually.
Pipe systems include not just the pipes themselves but valves, fittings, and pumps that control flow.
