Abstract
A pipe coupling member includes a coupling body defining a part of a fluid passage, and a support member disposed inside the coupling body. A valve accommodating space is defined inside the coupling body at a position forward of the support member, and a valve element is disposed in the valve accommodating space to open and close the fluid passage. The coupling body is formed from a thin-walled pipe material and has a deformed recess formed by plastically deforming radially inward a portion of the coupling body that covers an annular groove of the support member. The deformed recess has a locking element latching surface along a support surface of the annular groove. When the pipe coupling member is connected to an associated pipe coupling member, the locking element latching surface is latched by a locking element of the associated pipe coupling member.
