You could use redpower tubes, or install additional buildcraft pipes manually and use the insertion pipes from that mod...

As "Dafuq?" stated above, you can use RP2 pneumatic tubes; which would probably be your best choice as they are much more intelligent than standard buildcraft pipes. Otherwise, you could possibly set up an overflow system.

Diamond pipes can also be used in place of insertion pipes if you don't want to install another mod.

Yeah right, didn't think of that, that's probably the easiest way...

Diamond pipes cannot send items back the way they came (unlike RP tubes, which will backstuff the originating machine). In order to have somewhere for the items to go, put another pipe off of the diamond, with nothing in the filter.

The way that it works is that diamond pipes will try to pass things down their respective filtered pipes. If the attached inventories are full, then it will distribute it evenly across unfiltered colours with pipes/inventories attached.
