PIPE JOINT

To provide a pipe joint capable of reducing manufacturing costs while keeping high workability in connection of pipes.SOLUTION: A pipe joint connects a first pipe and a second pipe at least one of which can be twisted, to each other, and includes a main body and a sleeve. The main body is a cylindrical member, includes a connecting portion to the first pipe at one end portion in an axial direction, and includes an annular groove and a female screw at the other end portion in the axial direction. The sleeve includes an annular projection capable being fitted to the annular groove of the main body, and a male screw engageable with the female screw of the main body at one end portion in the axial direction, and includes a connecting portion to the second pipe at the other end portion in the axial direction. A rotating angle between both screws necessary for engaging the female screw of the main body and the male screw of the sleeve, is determined within a twisting range capable of obtaining by one hand, with respect to the first pipe connected to the main body or the second pipe connected to the sleeve.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】配管の接続に関する作業性を高く維持したまま、製造コストを削減することが可能な管継手を提供する。【解決手段】管継手は、少なくとも一方はねじることが可能な第１配管と第２配管とを互いに接続するものであり、本体とスリーブとを備えている。本体は筒状の部材であり、軸方向の一端部に第１配管との接続部を含み、軸方向の他端部に環状溝と雌ねじとを含む。スリーブは軸方向の一端部に、本体の環状溝へ圧入可能な環状突起と、本体の雌ねじに締結可能な雄ねじとを含み、軸方向の他端部に第２配管との接続部を含む。本体の雌ねじとスリーブの雄ねじとの締結に必要な両ねじ間の回転角が、本体に接続された第１配管、またはスリーブに接続された第２配管に対し、片手で加えることが可能なねじれの範囲内に設定されている。【選択図】図２
