PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a branch pipe connector which allows for the compact construction of a valve structure. SOLUTION: The branch pipe connector is equipped with a branch case 1 which is attached surrounding a fluid pipe K, and is divided into plural branches in the circumferential direction of the fluid pipe K, a short pipe 2 whose end portion is sandwiched between the divided surfaces of the branch case 1 for connection, and a gate valve body 3 which is displaced between a closed position in which an internal communication between the branch case 1 and the short pipe 2 is cut off and an opening position in which the internal communication between the branch case 1 and the short pipe 2 is permitted. The gate valve body 3 is configured to be able to come in and out of the branch case 1 through a valve body insertion opening 16 formed to penetrate the branch case 1. The gate valve body 3 placed in the closed position closes the end portion of the short pipe 2 sandwiched between the divided surfaces. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
