A connector includes a connector body and a retainer. The connector body includes a first opening and a second opening. The retainer includes a first leg and a second leg. A second end part of the retainer is temporarily locked at a temporary locking position that is further separated from a first end part of the retainer and is displaced in an insertion direction of a first pipe relative to a restriction position, which is a position to restrict detachment of the first pipe. When the first pipe is inserted into an insertion hole, temporary locking of the second end part is released, and the second end part moves to the restriction position due to a restoring force generated by elastic deformation of the retainer.

Connector

A connector includes a connector body and a retainer. The connector body includes a first opening portion and a second opening portion. The retainer includes a first leg portion, a second leg portion, and an intermediate portion that is elastically deformable in an open manner so that a distance between the first leg portion and the second leg portion is widened. An end surface of the first opening portion includes a first guide surface that guides the first leg portion in a direction where the distance is widened when a force in an insertion direction is applied to the first leg portion. An end surface of the second opening portion includes a second guide surface that guides the second leg portion in a direction where the distance is widened when a force in an insertion direction is applied to the second leg portion.
