Abstract
In a hose fitting fixing construction according to this invention, an engagement member having restoring force of gravity or elastic force is disposed in an engagement space of a bracket. The engagement member engages with an engagement dent of a hose fitting flange inserted into the engagement space, thereby engaging the hose fitting flange with the bracket. A detachment hole may be provided on the bracket to enable easy detachment of the hose fitting flange from the bracket. A detachment jig is inserted into the detachment hole to deform the engagement member against the restoring force and disengage the engagement member from the engagement dent of the hose fitting flange, thereby enabling to detach the hose fitting flange from the engagement space. Accordingly, the hose fitting flange can be installed to the bracket by snap-action even in a limited work space, and detached with ease.
