In engineering and computing, a stovepipe system is a system that is an assemblage of inter-related elements that are so tightly bound together that the individual elements cannot be differentiated, upgraded or refactored. The stovepipe system must be maintained until it can be entirely replaced by a new system. Therefore, over time a stovepipe system typically also becomes a legacy system.
