ABSTRACT:
A piping joint structure includes a first piping member, a second piping member having at least a window portion, and a joint member provided with a body unit and multiple engagement units, which protrude to the central axis side of the body unit and are capable of being diameter-enlarged and diameter-shortened. The body unit of the joint member has a semi-crack shape. The joint member hoops the second piping member from a periphery side of the second piping member, while the engagement units are inserted through the window portion. The first piping member is connected to the second piping member by a one-touch operation of diameter-enlarging and diameter-shortening of the engagement units.
