A 'ring main' is a circular section of pipe. It enables water to flow in both directions from the entry point around the ring to any outlet pipes it feeds. The Pipe Tool does not support the creation of ring mains.
Currently, if you finish a shape by clicking on the starting point with the Pipe Tool, the last section is made invisible. You cannot create a closed shape. This means that the total length of pipe shown in the OIP excludes this last section.

This means that this closed shape…
Becomes this open shape…
Can closed shapes be enabled with the Pipe Tool?
