Buildcraft pipes tend to lag out most servers, so it is recommended to use Redpower's Pneumatic Tube on public servers. Also, there are not many servers where they are not banned becuase of the amount of lag they create. Pipes are used to move and sort items. They can also place and remove items from inventories (like chests, furnaces, etc.). There are eight types of transport pipes: Wooden, Cobblestone, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Obsidian and Redstone.

There are 6 types of Waterproof Pipes: Wooden, Cobblestone, Stone, Iron, Gold and Redstone. Waterproof pipes are made from normal pipes by adding Pipe Waterproof. Waterproof pipes can transport Water, Lava, Oil, and Fuel.

There are 3 types of Conductive Pipes: Wooden, Stone, and Gold. These pipes can transport energy from engines to machines. Conductive pipes are made from normal pipes by adding Redstone.

In addition, Mining Pipe is a pipe that can be used as any kind of pipe.

Pipe placement is important. If you want to remove items from a furnace, for example, then a wooden pipe needs to be attached to the side of the furnace. A pipe connected to the top of a furnace places items into the top spot, and a pipe connected to the bottom of a furnace puts items into the bottom spot. If this is glitchy, wait for the power (any source) to, in a way, heat up

If you connect pipes in a loop, the world/server may deteriate.
