Depends on which way you're looking, and which part you're talking about.
For standard, right hand threaded fittings:
Pipe, one end close to you, fitting at far end of pipe. Turn pipe clockwise into fitting; CCW to remove from fitting.

My Porter-Cable Tiger Saw will also do the job.
About connecting and disconnecting pipe. It works exactly the same as a hose connecting to a faucet or another hose. Also, nut and bolts turn the same direction (although there are special applications that use left-hand threads)
