Abstract
A connection structure for a resin pipe, in which leakage of fluid from between a metal pipe and the resin pipe fitted on the metal pipe is prevented for a long time. In the connection structure, at least two diameter-expanded sections (10, 11) are formed with a spacing on an end region of a metal pipe (1), the spacing between the two diameter-expanded sections (10, 11) functioning as a circumferential groove (12) in which a seal ring (SR) is received, and a resin tube (2) is fitted up to a position beyond a far side diameter-expanded section (11) of the two diameter-expanded sections (10, 11). A back ring (BR) is received in the circumferential groove (12) together with the seal ring (SR). The diameter-expanded sections (10, 11) of the metal tube (1) are formed by bulging or spool shape-forming process.
