How to create pipes that connect to valves

I have an assembly that has valves and unions mounted in a panel. I would now like to create the piping the connects these parts. Can somebody guide me or assist me with how to create these pipes. Attached is an image of what I have assembled and I drew in a line that represents one of the pipes I need to create.

Maybe the Pipe command will be your best bet. Please attach your model. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

I created the one pipe you outlined in your screen capture and markup. You did not specify the pipe wall thickness or penetration inside each fitting but you can edit these to suit. I am returning your assembly as I received it, as a .F3Z file. Be cautious where you upload it to as it will possibly duplicate your components. I advise a separate folder. Model is attached.
