How do you remove male pipe threads broken off on the inside of a female pipe fitting when the female fitting cannot be rotated?
To remove broken male pipe threads from a female fitting that cannot be rotated, you can use a left-handed drill bit slightly smaller than the thread diameter. Carefully drill into the center of the broken thread; as you drill, the reverse rotation may cause the broken piece to unscrew itself. If that doesn't work, you can also apply penetrating oil and use a screw extractor to grip and remove the remnants. Always ensure you have proper safety gear and take care to avoid damaging the female fitting.
What is the difference between plumbing MIP and FIP?
MIP ==> Male Iron Pipe thread (i.e. threads on outside of fitting) FIP ==> Female Iron Pipe thread (i.e. threads on inside of fitting)
How do you remove male pipe from stubborn female pipe?
An inside pipe wrench also called a pipe extractor. It drives into the broken off pipe and is then turned with a crescent wrench.Normally a extractor or inside pipe wrench does not work removing a pipe . What works best is the use of a hack saw blade and a chisel to cave in the threads after the threads are cut.. BECAREFUL not to cut into the fitting threads
What is the diffidence Compression and Female Pipe Threads?
Compression uses a ferrule or brass ring around the pipe that is compressed by the nut into the pipe and against the fitting. There is no such thing as Female Pipe Threads. There are Male and Female fittings, the pipe is the Male side and the fitting is Female. The Male goes inside of the Female. They both have pipe threads. Pipe thread, Compression, and Flare all have different thread pattern so that they cannot be mixed. They all do different jobs.
What does female pipe thread look like?
Female pipe thread features an internal tapered or straight thread design that allows it to connect with male pipe threads. The internal threads are typically cut into the inside of a fitting or pipe, creating a snug fit when mated with a male counterpart. The most common types are NPT (National Pipe Tapered) and NPS (National Pipe Straight) threads, distinguished by their taper and shape. Female threads often appear as a smooth opening with visible grooves from the threading inside.

What is a FTG x C copper fitting?
C = cupped end - the type you would slide over another pipe to make a sweat connection FTG = fitting end - the type that slides inside a cupped end, also called a "street" fitting M = male pipe threads FE (sometimes listed as just F, not correct)= female pipe threads The "X" is "by", so C X C is "cupped by cupped", a fitting with two ends such as a coupling or elbow, both cupped for sweating onto a pipe or fitting end. C X C X C would be a fitting with three ends such as a tee, all cupped. C X FTG could be a street elbow or a reducing bushing, one part slides over a pipe, the other inside another cupped fitting. C is indeed a cupped fitting. CMP is compression, but there is no such thing as a copper fitting with a compression connection. There are brass and plastic compression fittings that will fit copper pipe, but not copper compression fittings.
Why is it called Hub and spigot drain pipe?
The Hub and Spigot are two types of fitting on either end of a pipe.At one end you have the Hub (Socket) fitting; which is a "female" end of a fitting designed to accept pipe or a SPIGOT connector.At the other end you have the Spigot fitting; which is a "male" end of a fitting designed to be used inside another fittings Socket (or Hub) end.
What are the differences between Internal and External threads?
