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.
- The plumber connected the female pipe to the water supply line.
- The female pipe fitting was damaged, causing a leak in the system.
- The female pipe was attached to the end of the hose to ensure a tight seal.
- The water pressure was low because the female pipe was not properly connected to the main line.
