The diameter of the screw of the screw part 4 and the diameter of the screw of the screw part 6 are different. Covers 8 and 10 which can be mated with the screw parts 4 and 6 respectively are screwed into the screw parts 4 and 6. Hexagonal bolt heads are formed on the upper surfaces of the covers 8 and 10, and packings 12 are incorporated in the root parts of the covers 8 and 10. When the protective pipe 2 is used, first the cover 8 of the one side of the protective pipe 2 is removed, and the side from which the cover 8 is removed is screwed onto the flexible conduit.
