The structure includes a nipple, the reinforcement portion, and a crimp collar fitted in that order to the outside of a straight tube portion of the bellows tube. The nipple is joined to the reinforcement portion and the metal tube. A sleeve is joined to the metal tube and the crimp collar. The nipple is bonded to the inner surface of the metal tube with a resin. End faces of the reinforcement portion and the crimp collar are in contact with or located close to an end face of the metal tube.
