They just have big pipes. Salazar Slytherin was one of the Hogwarts Founders. He created the castle along with the 3 others. He just thought about the size of the plumbing throughout the place to accommodate his basilisk.
Like in any other building though, you have all sizes of pipes. Small ones under the sink. Big mains to bring water to the place or evacuate it.
Next time I see him, I'll ask my plumber wizard to check out Hogwarts' piping and post a more complete reply here about it.
(Just kidding !)

You have to realize that Hogwarts is an ancient castle inhabited by hundreds of people. Thus, the pipes would have to be very large to service so many people. Also, the basilisk is not a normal snake. My theory is that it can contort itself to fit throught the smallest of passages.

the pipes that the basilisk used were probably large ones, do he could fit in them.

I think as hogwarts is a magical castle it will be able to accomadate a large basilik as the pipes would be able to expand magically to let anything flow through them no matter what their size is.
