<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the connecting work in piping P having a flange part Pa. <P>SOLUTION: A connector 10 makes a protruding piece 66, which extends inside a fourth connection hole 26d of a housing 20, interfere with an interfering engagement end 44b of a retainer 40 so that the retainer 40 is installed temporarily. With insertion of piping P, the protruding piece 66 is expanded once in the radial direction of piping by a flange part Pa, and deflected, and thereafter, the protruding piece 66 is elastically reset in the center direction of piping, and the flange part Pa is fitted in a recessed part 69 for engagement. Elastic reset of the protruding piece 66 and engagement of the flange part Pa with the recessed part 69 give moderate feeling, which senses a condition wherein insertion in piping is concluded, to a worker. Since the protruding piece 66 when moderate feeling is given prevents interference of an interfering part 68 with the interfering engagement part 44b, the retainer 40 in the condition wherein it is installed temporarily can be quickly installed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
