PURPOSE: A flexible hose and pipe connecting structure for a vehicle is provided to simplify a connecting and disconnecting process, to save a cost with the simple shape of a fitting, to reduce the number of components without a holder, and to reduce a cost as a clip is not used as an independent component. CONSTITUTION: A fitting(2) is placed in a flexible hose(1) and a flare nut(4) is placed in a pipe(3). The fitting and the flare nut are combined with a screw so that the flexible hose and the pipe are connected each other. The flare nut is welded into a clip(5) and then the clip is automatically operated. A head(2b) of the fitting is in a hexagonal shape and a main bracket is inserted into the hexagonal head. Thus, the flexible hose and the pipe are not rotated. A flange(2c) of the fitting is stuck to a main bracket(6). The clip pushes the flare nut in the opposite direction of the main bracket so the flexible hose and the pipe are not even moved in a flowing direction. In this structure, the flexible hose and the pipe are easily connected or disconnected and no holder is needed for preventing the rotation of the fitting. A cost is saved and the number of components is reduced with the simple shape of the fitting and the integrated clip.
