Routing Best Practices

Hi all,

I have a question regarding adding threaded couplings that are welded to pipe and elbows for sensors, gauges etc. Here is a screen shot of an example.

Since i cant mate to pipe parts i have been drawing a construction line and dropping the coupling on the end point. deleting the route lines that are created and constraining the sketch geometry. Does anyone do this sort of stuff? is this the best way to go about? Thanks in advance!
