To avoid the excessive protection of a portion which is not required to be protected while protecting a portion which is required to be protected, to improve the stability of the attachment of the tube to a wire harness, and also to facilitate securing the mounting strength of the tube to a body.
The hard protecting tube 10 continuously includes an entire circumference cylinder 11 having a circumferential wall at its entire circumference, and a semi-circumference cylinder 12 having a circumferential wall at its substantial half circumference at one-end side and the other end side in the longitudinal direction, respectively. A cut line 4 having a substantially Z-shaped form in a side view which is composed of two vertical cut liens 3 which are set at positions opposing each other in the circumferential direction, and substantially parallel with each other in the longitudinal direction, and two lateral cut lines 2 which are set at opposite sides opposing each other with respect to the vertical cut lines, connect one-side ends and other side ends of the two vertical cut lines, and are substantially parallel with each other in the circumferential direction of a cylinder is formed at an intermediate part of the longitudinal direction of the circumferential wall of the cylinder 1. Then, by dividing the cylinder into two pieces in the longitudinal direction, two pieces of the hard protecting tubes 10 can be taken from one cylinder.
