Abstract
A second tube-side housing (15) is connected to one end of a second tube (14). A fit-in space (51) in which a wall-side housing (19) is capable of fitting is formed at the side, of the second tube-side housing (15), opposite to the side thereof in which the second tube (14) is fitted. A pair of detection terminals (70) is mounted on an upper portion of the second tube-side housing (15), with the detection terminals (70) connected to one end of an electric wire (D1). A slide (33) is longitudinally slidably installed on a continuity inspection portion (52) accommodating the detection terminals (70). The slide (33) accommodates a short-circuit terminal (36) capable of electrically connecting the detection terminals (70) to each other. When both housings (15, 19) fit on each other normally, the slide (33) is pressed toward the housing (15), and the short-circuit terminal (36) short-circuits detection terminals (70).
