Connector and pipe connecting assembly

摘要

The pipe connection assembly includes a connector 10 that connects a pipe P as well as a bellows tube 30 that is pressure-fitted onto the connector 10. The bellows tube 30 includes a connecting straight tube 34 that is located at the connection end of the bellows portion 32 and is formed as a straight tube having a diameter nearly equal to the maximum outer diameter of the bellows portion 32. The connector 10 includes a connector main body 12 having a pipe insertion hole 16 for inserting a pipe P. A nipple 14 is formed around the outer circumference of the connector main body 12. The nipple 14 is located at a position at which it overlaps with the pipe P inserted in the pipe insertion hole 16. The pipe connection assembly has a construction that is advantageous in arranging and handling hoses in narrow spaces.
