Abstract
A connector comprises a casing with a pipe fitting bore to which a pipe P is fitted; a pipe fixing component which slides against the casing and fixed the pipe P when the pipe is fitted to the pipe fitting bore and a seal component that is mounted facing the pipe duct to seal the pipe P. The pipe fixing component is elastically deformed, when the pipe P is fitted, from the temporary stop position at which it is temporarily stopped in the pipe fitting bore and moves to the connecting position where the pipe is fixed, it being possible to externally view whether the pipe fixing component is in the connecting position. The connector requires no checker or the like to check the connection with the pipe P, thus preventing poor seals.
