Abstract
A hose connector connects a hose with a pipe which projects through a mounting member, and includes a connector body, an intermediate member and a grommet. The connector body includes a hose connector member, and a pipe connector member. The intermediate member is detachably engaged with the connector body, and includes a second engager and an engager claw. The intermediate member can be assembled with the connector body by simply engaging the second engager with the first engager of the connector body, and can be assembled with the mounting member by simply engaging the engager claw with a mounting hole of the mounting member. The grommet is held on the intermediate member so as to seal a periphery of the mounting hole of the mounting member. The hose connector enables not only to connect a hose with a pipe by snap action, but also to project a pipe through the mounting member by a reduced length.
