Abstract
A quick connector includes paired first legs having a first push-in inhibiting protrusion, and paired second legs having a second push-in inhibiting protrusion. Although the first push-in inhibiting protrusions inhibit the push-in movements of a retainer in a state before a pipe is inserted, they do not inhibit the push-in movements of the retainer in such another state as the pipe is located at a midway position. The second push-in inhibiting protrusions inhibit the push-in movements of the retainer in the other state where the pipe is located at the midway position.
