Maybe it is simple if you choose Live Paint > Release, cut the object and paste it behind the selected pipe.

Or maybe instead of Live Paint > Release, Live Paint > Expand.

Try Adobe Illustrator "Intertwine" tool.

Intertwine does not work with Live paint. Unless you make them symbols forst, but then they aren't easily editable anymore - only in isolation mode.

I tried to hide another part of my object. I have tried to mark a part of my object which I want to put behind another (hide), so I have used Pathfinder -> Minus Front, but it doesn't work, so I tried Clipping mask, but the part of object which I want to hide stayed visible and the rest of object is unvisible.

Can you select both Live Paint objects and select Merge Live Paint to make them part of the same group.
