It is provided with a plurality of spacer portions formed by opening. The plurality of protrusions and the plurality of spacers are arranged so as to be separated from each other by a predetermined rotation angle in the circumferential direction when the cap is viewed from the bulging direction of the cup-shaped portion.

The protrusion amount and position of the plurality of spacers and the positions of the plurality of protrusions are configured to allow the following operations. That is, when the cap is pushed so as to fit the plurality of protrusions into the plurality of through recesses, the tip of the spacer portion comes into contact with the surface of the annular portion, and then the cap is rotated in one direction. The material elasticity is exerted on the portion to prevent or suppress the multiple protrusions from being pressed against the back surface of the annular portion by the material elasticity, and when the plurality of protrusions fit into the bottomed recesses, the material elasticity is released and the plurality of protrusions are released. The protrusions of the are completely fitted into the plurality of bottomed recesses. If the cap is pushed in with the plurality of protrusions completely fitted in the bottomed recess, the plurality of protrusions will come out of the plurality of bottomed recesses, and then when the cap is rotated in the other direction, the spacer part While the tip is in contact with the surface of the annular portion, the material elasticity is exerted on the flange portion to prevent or suppress the plurality of protrusions from being pressed against the back surface of the annular portion by the material elasticity, and the plurality of protrusions are through recesses. When fitted to, the elasticity of the material is released and a plurality of protrusions can be pulled out from a plurality of through recesses. By adopting such a configuration, the cap can be attached and detached without using screws, so that the number of parts can be reduced and the workability of hose replacement can be improved.

A drain hole is formed on the bottom side wall of the exterior, and the inner peripheral portion of the drain hole is fitted to the end of the new watering hose when a new watering hose is inserted into the hose through hole. It is preferable that the hose end caps are separately provided integrally. If the hose end cap is integrally provided on the inner peripheral portion of the drain hole, it is not necessary to search for the hose end cap when replacing a new watering hose. When a new watering hose is pushed into the tubular portion from the hose through hole, if the end of the watering hose remains a cut surface, it becomes difficult to push the new watering hose due to the large contact resistance. On the other hand, if the hose end cap is fitted to the end of the new watering hose, the contact resistance at the tip of the new watering hose will be reduced, and the new watering hose will not get caught in the middle and will be used smoothly. The end of the hose can be advanced.
