Abstract
A handle mechanism of a piping member includes an inner member turnably attached to a pipe body and connected to a valve member in a fluid passage of the pipe body, an outer member turnably disposed outside the pipe body, and a coupling pin coupling together a first coupling end portion of the inner member and a second coupling end portion of the outer member in the direction of turning. The pipe body has a support surface located around the second coupling end portion. When a force acts on the outer member in a direction of pivoting the outer member about a pivot axis, the second coupling end portion engages the support surface, thereby allowing the outer member to be supported by the pipe body in the direction of pivoting.
