Chris Colefax' object bender comes to mind. Or if you have MegaPOV,
you can use a sphere sweep. If you don't have it, you can make your
own sphere_sweep by, well, sweeping a sphere along a path by means of
a #while loop.

My Object Bender (http://www.geocities.com/ccolefax) does seem to be an
obvious choice, and for certain projects it offers a quick (to use)
solution. In general, though, it's far from the most efficient method of
creating curved objects - sphere_sweeps seem to fit that bill best if you
have MegaPOV and want extrusions with a circular cross-section.
For more options, you may want to look at my Spline Macro System
(http://www.geocities.com/ccolefax/spline), which lets you declare a spline
path in a variety of ways, and then lets you create objects based on this,
including pipes, coils, linked chains, blobs, and more...

or you can use sections of cylinders, spheres and torii.

I have posted a image to povray.binaries.images:
news://news.povray.org/39C4B18B.5DC53FCF%40hotmail.com
Is it the kind of pipes that are in this image that you need ?
If so then I can post the source code if you are interested.
(Some time ago I made some macro that make such pipes.)

Have you seen Giles Tran's pipe macros? They're in
http://www.mediaport.net/Artichaud/Tran/gtran.en.html
under sources. Very nice stuff if what you want is water/stem pipes.

As seen in my torus spline macro, available at the URL below.
