Summary: We exhibit a canonical connection between maximal (0,1)-fillings of a moon polyomino avoiding north-east chains of a given length and reduced pipe dreams of a certain permutation. Following this approach we show that the simplicial complex of such maximal fillings is a vertex-decomposable and thus a shellable sphere. In particular, this implies a positivity result for Schubert polynomials. For Ferrers shapes, we moreover construct a bijection to maximal fillings avoiding south-east chains of the same length which specializes to a bijection between $$k$$-triangulations of the $$n$$-gon and $$k$$-fans of Dyck paths. Using this, we translate a conjectured cyclic sieving phenomenon for $$k$$-triangulations with rotation to $$k$$-flagged tableaux with promotion.
