inlet pipe

Water entry channel

An inlet pipe is a pipe through which fluid enters a tank, container, or system—as opposed to an outlet pipe, which carries fluid away.

The term appears in plumbing, industrial processes, and mechanical systems: The inlet pipe feeds water into the cistern.

In toilet mechanisms, the inlet pipe connects the water supply to the fill valve.
