Abstract
In a pipe joint made of resin, a cap nut-like pressing ring is screwed to the outer periphery of a pipe receiving port of a joint body, and presses an inner ring from the outer side of a pipe member as a result of screw advancement toward the joint body. The inner peripheral face of an annular pressing portion of the pressing ring is formed into a straight shape. The inner diameter D of the annular pressing portion is set to be 1.0 to 1.1 times, preferably, 1.01 to 1.05 times the outer diameter d of the pipe member, and the length L of the straight inner peripheral face portion in the axial direction is set to be 0.2 to 1.0 times, preferably, 0.2 to 0.8 times the outer diameter d of the pipe member, whereby the rotational resistance in a process of fastening the pressing ring is reduced, so that the loss of fastening torque can be reduced and a predetermined sealing force and a predetermined slipping off resistance can be ensured.
