See full text

A pipe joint structure includes: a union; a flare nut that includes a female thread formed at one of axially opposite ends of the flare nut, and a first annular surface formed at the other of the axially opposite ends of the flare nut; a cylindrical sleeve that houses the flare nut such that the flare nut can be rotate and moved forward and backward; a rotary ring that has a second annular surface located to face the first annular surface, and is attached to the sleeve such that the rotary ring can be rotated for the union; and a pressing member that presses the flare nut toward the rotary ring. At the second annular surface, a claw is formed in such a manner as to protrude towards the flare nut. The first annular surface includes an engagement surface that is formed in such a manner to face one side in a circumferential direction and a helically inclined surface that is adjacent to the engagement surface in the circumferential direction and formed helically in such a way as to incline and face the opposite side of the one side in the circumferential direction.
