When I set up a command block to place any pipe with the /setblock command; it seems like 1 of two things happen:

1. If the pipe is replacing most other blocks, then it looks like nothing happens at all. The pipe is "placed" , but it is never rendered nor is it possible to interact with it. It only takes up space, preventing other blocks from being placed in its spot
2. If the pipe is replacing another pipe, then the pipe displays as a cobblestone structure pipe. It is visible in the world, but it cannot connect to other pipes of any type. It becomes a game crash hazard: if debug mode is open and the player looks at the pipe, then it will crash the game.

I'm planning on picking up this issue myself to work on it, I'm posting it as an issue for completeness' sake and to get any info about similar problems and/or input from any of the devs

marking as enhancement as it isn't completely a bug, you are setting the block to the generic "pipeBlock" but that's shared accross all the pipes, currently there is no way to tell said pipe block what type it is so it assumes some default values
