A second tube-side housing ( ) is connected to one end of a second tube ( ). A fit-in space ( ) in which a wall-side housing ( ) is capable of fitting is formed at the side, of the second tube-side housing ( ), opposite to the side thereof in which the second tube ( ) is fitted. A pair of detection terminals ( ) is mounted on an upper portion of the second tube-side housing ( ), with the detection terminals ( ) connected to one end of an electric wire (D ). A slide ( ) is longitudinally slidably installed on a continuity inspection portion ( ) accommodating the detection terminals ( ).
