triple X pipe
Everything.
My wife and son are gone and I have all week to myself. What the heck do I do?
Play with yourself.
OK, here are some more:
How about vertically oriented pipe. Are there any special consideration there?
Do you know anything about the concerns of vertical pipes in high rise buildings. Say you have a pressurized water pipe running up an 8 story building. What is the pressure differential from the bottom to the top using typical municipal water pressure?
How tall of a building can municipal water pressure push water up?
How about corners? What are the standard for supporting pipe going around a corner?
Are you aware of any concerns of the use of waterless urinals on pipes?
This is likely out of your area:
In the building I am in I will sometimes hear load banging in the walls. It has become apparent that this is the pipes in the walls, likely related to the bathrooms. I am suspicious that the banging is air trapped in the system, since flushing one of the toilets (which does not flush well) will create a slightly less sever version of the banging.
What is your suspicion of cause and cure?
p.s. I am frankly a bit amazed I can come up with so many pipe questions.

What are the standard for supporting pipe going around a corner? I am responsible for controlling the movement pipe sees under thermal growth - supporting pipe is the pipe hanger guys problem. Are you aware of any concerns of the use of waterless urinals on pipes? yes, they always reek when I pee into them. maybe a little water might help is my first thought.
how did I do on my first set of questions?
You cannot provide more than about 75 psi to a domestic water fixture (Donny Baker: State Law) You typically need around 15-25 psi minimum for certain fixtures. So that comes out to about 115 feet of vertical distance between a fixture at the first floor and a fixture on a upper level (~10-11 stories up). Now you can get pump stations on intermediate floors to get higher. I've never designed one of thoses, so I can really comment.
We design buildings with waterless urinals in them... with water pipes hidden in the walls. So after they get their green buddies pat on the back approval, they can install ones that work.

Heck, I don't know. I don't really know anything about pipe, I just know how to ask questions.
They sounded reasonable though.
Okay, here's one for ya! Why, oh why, do these motion-detecting faucets dribble out water for one, maybe two seconds, and then switch off and require you to hold your hand under them in the vain hope that they will provide enough water to actually get the soap off your hands? Why can't they just switch on the first time and then run for a whole 5 seconds? Is that really going to waste a lot of water? Why would you want your customers (and employees) to get frustrated washing their hands in your sink? Wouldn't it make sense to encourage handwashing instead of discouraging it? Another example of a promising technology that falls flat on it's face due to poor, make that piss-poor, execution.

Ha ha ha ha - chuck them into a landfill. Those waterless urinals alway stink.....a little water might help that?
Japanese toilets are the best. After your are done they tickle your two hole.

A few suggestions, Wally.

Now describe that to me again. This time slower with more pantomime
Can I bolt a 125# class 4" flat faced cast iron flange to a 4" 150# stainless raised face flange?
If so, will it leak and what type of gasket do I need to use?

Ha ha ha. 125/150 have the same bolt circle. Flat face and RF need a ring gasket, you have dissimilar metals.
Guys, I sell hoses for a living, I'm not a pipe fitter or ingineer.
People ask us all the time to weld galvanized flanges to our S/S hoses and get mad when we say no.

That might end up costing you a length of pipe and do strange things to to your thrust blocks.

If it's Ron Jeremy, i'd at least double space that pipe, no idea where it's been.
Overhead presence sensors, on an automatic swing door, only work when the door is stationary. If it's moving there is no overhead safety sensor.
Sorry piping isn't my specialty. 
In reply to 1988RedT2:
Because they are installed by plumbers, not IR sensor technicians.
