water supply lines

Household plumbing conduits

Water supply lines are the pipes that carry fresh water into a building or through a distribution system.

The term distinguishes these from drain lines, which carry water away.

In home maintenance, supply lines often refers specifically to the flexible hoses connecting fixtures to the plumbing: The water supply lines under the sink need replacing.
