Abstract
A fluid pressure apparatus is formed of a fluid pressure device including a plurality of ports opening in rows on its one end face and a pipe joint assembly in which a plurality of quick-type pipe joints are retained by a joint holder in the same arrangement as the respective ports of the fluid pressure device, in rows. Pipes from respective actuators are connected to the respective pipe joints in advance. After the actuators and the fluid pressure device are installed, the respective pipe joints of the pipe joint assembly are inserted into the corresponding ports of the fluid pressure device to thereby connect the pipes to the respective ports of the fluid pressure device by one operation.
