===WHAT PIPE DO===
There are a few different pipes you can get from the dispenser. They all have their own thing going for 'em.
====Pipes====
*'''Regular pipes''' - The station is infested with these thing and you want to add MORE!? Place down manual valves to crush the hopes and dreams of any would-be plasma flooding AI.
*'''Insulated pipes''' - Keeps the cold out if you're placing pipes out in space. (Regular pipes don't transfer outside heat at all from the environment, so these are pretty much regular pipes without the luxury of manifolds.)
====Devices====
*'''Connector''' - Used to attach canisters, pumps or scrubbers to a pipe network. If you can't get a pipe network easily to the filter loop, an empty canister can be a good substitute.
*'''Unary vent''' - See: Vent. Once placed down it will have to be turned on by activating it at an Air alarm terminal.
*'''Gas pump''' - The basic pumps you'll find all over atmospherics. Good for precise pressure levels. Goes up to 4500 kPa.
*'''Passive gate''' - Think of it as a one-way manual valve, but electronic. Doesn't pump gas, but lets certain pressure through. Can let up to 4500 kPa pressure through. It should be noted that its on status can be easy to miss, being just a small red/green light.
*'''Volume pump''' - A bit like the gas pump, but pumps via volume rather than going for pressure. 200 l/s (>9000 kPa) is its max output. Faster than a gas pump (you can fill canisters up past the standard 4500 kPa pressure!), so best used in systems where precise pressure isn't needed (such as anything to do with the waste loop).
*'''Scrubber''' - Self explanatory, scrubs the nasty out of things, or acts like a vacuum. Like unary vents, needs to be turned on by an Air alarm terminal after wrenched into place.
*'''Meter''' - Wanna know how much gas is in a pipe? Use these. (Helpful hint: In a room with the default 101.3kPa atmosphere pipes < 303.9 kPa pressure can be unwrenched.)
*'''Gas Filter''' - Them big ol' blocks of things that ring Atmosia, takes certain gasses out. Filters them, if you will.
*'''Gas Mixer''' - Like a filter, but mixes gasses instead of filters. There is one in Atmosia that mixes nitrogen and oxygen.
====Heat Exchange====
*'''Pipes''' - H/E pipes transfer temperatures between the environment and gas within'. Besides looking spiffy, you can place some in space to super-duper cool gasses, or create a burning length of death pipe.
*'''Junction''' - Turn that regular pipe network into a H/E network, and back again! After all, you have to get that gas safely into space ''somehow''!
*'''Heat Exchanger''' - These strange and esoteric devices equalize the temperature between two pipe networks without actually mixing the gasses. To use, place them facing each other. (So you're going to need at LEAST a 1 X 4 area to set this up.)

Remember, you are the sole reason for the station living. It doesn't take many pipe wrenchings for you to doom the entire station to plasma-y death. So be responsible with your experiments. When in doubt, adminhelp what you're going to do. After all, it's a lot less convenient to Atmospherics it up when you're job banned, so don't make that mistake!! However...
