What is a "female pipe"?
A female pipe is a type of pipe fitting with inward-facing grooves that are designed to connect with a male pipe fitting, which has outward-facing screws. The female pipe fitting allows the male pipe to be screwed into it, creating a secure connection between two pipes or components in a plumbing or piping system. Female pipes are commonly used in water supply systems, gas lines, and other applications where a tight, leak-proof connection is needed.
Examples
The plumber connected the female pipe to the water supply line.
