Pipe design add-ons

Hi, Can anyone recommend some acad 2002 add-on utility software for pipe
design.
I'm looking for a range of suggestions from cheap to expensive.

thanks

I don't know if it'll do what you need it to, but Spears has a add-on. It
makes it easy to draw pipes and Spears fittings (also can spit out
materials/parts list?) I've only used it once (and I don't normally do
piping drawings) but found it easy enough to learn the basics of.

The drawback with it (that I found) was it's designed for Spears fittings,
any non Spears stuff required monkeying around with. I used it to just
approximate stuff (i.e. I'd use the Spears 2" pvc elbow fitting, for all 2"
pvc elbows, regardless of manufacturer).

I'm sure there are more extensive add-ons/programs out there, but this one
was free and easy to start using. Depending upon what you're looking to do,
it may or may not be the best option.

HTH,
