pipes
Plumbing's hollow channels
Pipes are hollow tubes for conveying liquids or gases: water pipes, gas pipes, drain pipes.
A pipe for smoking has a bowl at one end where tobacco burns.
Organ pipes and bagpipes produce sound when air passes through tubes.
Someone's pipes are their vocal cords or singing voice: She has great pipes.
To pipe is to convey through pipes or to play a pipe instrument.
Pipe down means be quiet; pipe up means speak up.
