Abstract
A connector cover for providing a water shield between a connector and a pipe comprises two cover elements. The cover elements are joined each other to construct a tubular water shield, which internally has a connector receiving portion on one axial side thereof for receiving a pipe inserting portion of a connector, and a pipe receiving portion on an opposite axial side thereof for receiving a pipe. The pipe receiving portion has a pipe receiving section on an opposite axial side thereof for receiving an opposite axial side from an annular projection of the pipe, and a projection receiving section on one axial side thereof for receiving annular projection. An inner diameter of the pipe receiving section is designed generally identical to an outer diameter of the pipe.
