public static Pipe CreateNewPipe(Document document, ElementId systemTypeId, ElementId levelId)
{
    // find a pipe type

    FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);

    PipeType pipeType = collector.FirstElement() as PipeType;

    Pipe pipe = null;
    if (null != pipeType)
    {
        // create pipe between 2 points
        XYZ p1 = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
