"Female NPT" refers to "Female National Pipe Tapered" threads, which are a standard for connecting pipes and fittings. The "female" designation indicates that the threads are on the inside of the fitting, allowing it to receive a corresponding "male" part with external threads. NPT threads are designed to create a tight seal, often requiring a sealant like Teflon tape or pipe dope for leak prevention in plumbing and piping systems.
