Default How to return a range of values in a drop-down.

Is there a way to have Excel return a range of values in a drop down in one
cell based on input from another cell.
As an example:

Cell A1 has the text "PVC Pipe"

I want cell A2 to get input from A1, read through a table, and return the
corresponding values (sizes) of PVC pipe. The results in A2 would be the
following in a drop down:

4"
6"
8"

If cell A1 contained the text "Metal Pipe" it would return values (sizes)
of metal pipe from a table and not display the sizes of PVC pipe.

10"
12"
15"

The bottom line and tricky part for me is how to have Excel return a range
of values back to me in a drop down. I've recently learned how to use
Vlookup, Index & Match. I want to do something along these lines, however
the results displayed will be more than one value.
