Abstract: A resin pipe joint comprising a tapered flare portion (10a) formed on a pipe (10), an inclined portion (11a) formed internally of a joint body (11), an annular member (12) having inner peripheral surface fitted on the pipe (10) and the outer peripheral surface inserted in the joint body and formed at the end with a tapered chamfered portion (12a), and a pipe clamping member (13) threadedly fitted to the joint body (11).
