female thread

On a female thread, the major diameter is not on the "outside".

It has female threading, but the threaded hole does not go all the way through as is the case with a nut.

In plumbing systems that use threads, the cap has female threads.

A barb clamp fitting has a male-threaded end used to mate with the female threads.

It is the diameter at which each pitch is equally divided between the mating male and female threads.

C-mount lenses provide a male thread which mates with a female thread on the camera.

They often have solvent welded socket ends or female threaded ends.

They always use a taper male thread, but can have either parallel or taper female threads.

Likewise, for female threads the stock material is drilled with a slightly larger tap drill, increasing the minor diameter.

Machine screws have threads which have to be matched with nuts with female threads.

To truncate the threads below 100% of nominal, different techniques are used for male and female threads.

A cap may have a solvent weld socket end or a female threaded end and the other end closed off.

(Some specialty casing is manufactured in one piece with a female thread machined directly into one end.)

One defining feature of impact heads is they almost always have male pipe threads, as opposed to the female threads found on virtually all other sprinkler types.

In general, valves, cylinders and pumps have female threaded bosses for the fluid connection, and hoses have female ends with captive nuts.

To pull the bit from the hole, either the female thread in the wood workpiece must be stripped, or the rotation of the bit must be reversed.

Shop-floor inspection of a thread is often as simple as running a nut onto it (for male threads) or a bolt into it (for female threads).

A tap is used to cut a female thread on the inside surface of a pre-drilled hole, while a die cuts a male thread on a preformed cylindrical rod.

To achieve a predictably successful mating of male and female threads and assured interchangeability between males and between females, standards for form, size, and finish must exist and be followed.

It is available with all female thread sockets, all solvent weld sockets, or with opposed solvent weld sockets and a side outlet with female threads.
