A hole 15 is formed to the center portion of an outer wall 14 of a housing defining an airtight chamber, and temperature sensitive gas is filled in the interior of the housing. The hole 15 is sealed by a plug 16 and is fixed by a weld portion 17. An anaerobic UV cure adhesive 34 is filled in the recess 18 formed around the projection weld portion 17, and cured by UV radiation. The surface of the anaerobic UV cure adhesive 34 cures rapidly, and the inner area of the adhesive where UV cannot be radiated is cured infallibly. The thermal expansion valve having such structure can be arranged in an engine room, where corrosion due to water adhering to the weld can be prevented effectively, and as a result prevents gas leak from the weld portion.
