ABSTRACT:
The pipe 1 includes in one end portion thereof a metal cap portion 2 on which an O-ring 5 can be mounted, and a connecting portion 6 in the other end portion. A delivery pipe 9 includes a communication hole having an undercut shape and an engaging recessed portion 21. A fixing clip 21 including a mounting portion 16 and a securing portion 17 having rigidity is mounted on the portion of the pipe 1 located just above the metal cap portion 2. The securing portion 17 includes a plurality of securing claws 18 so arranged as to surround the metal cap portion 2, and a rotation preventive projection 19. When the metal cap portion 2 is fitted into the communication hole 12, the securing claws 18 are secured to the upper hole portion 14 of the communication hole 12, and the rotation preventive projection 19 is engaged with the engaging recessed portion 21. The metal cap portion 2 is fixed in such a manner that the securing claws 18 surround at least the metal cap portion 2 and the securing portion 17 can be made relatively short. Due to this, the metal cap portion 2 itself can be fixed so strongly that it can be prevented from wobbling even a stress is applied to the pipe 1.
