If the curved pipe is a simple arc segment, you could use a large radius Torus. The object pictured here has primary and secondary divisions set to 128 and 36 respectively.

Thanks for your help Mark. After all of these years I finally get to use a Torus.

Don't be tempted to use Sweep for this.

I have had difficulty with the torus and sweep functions... What is the easiest way to draw a 1-1/2" dia stair handrails with horizontal top and bottom runs? I spent a very long time the other day trying to get this to blend nicely.

also, I am confused about the primary and secondary segments and their importance.
