Abstract
Provided is a highly reliable leak-proof pipe joint which is superior in workability, inexpensive and Light, superior in resistance against chlorine and oxygen contained in hot water or vapor, resistive against hydrolysis in hot water, superior in mechanical strength and impact resistance, and thereby capable of withstanding deformation due to water pressure or water hammer phenomenon. This pipe, joint has a main body and a connector or connecting the main body to a pipe, wherein at least either the main body or connector is formed from one type selected from a group consisting or resin in which thermoplastic elastomer is added to polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, polyphenyl sulfane, polyphthalimide and polyetherimide, and the main body and connector are formed integrally.
