The Steam Pipe is a community-created cosmetic item for the Medic. It is a robotic version of the Nine-Pipe Problem, with the pipe now resembling a stove pipe. The Medic's glasses are also replaced by goggles-like eyewear, complete with glowing team-colored lenses and a "Genteel Smoke" particle effect coming from the pipe.
The Steam Pipe was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
