A corrugated tube has a slit (13) and first closing walls (14A) of circumferentially extending annular projections (12) are formed along the slit (13). Lock projections (16) dimensioned to be fitted inside the annular projections (12) are provided between the first closing walls (14A) and second closing walls (15A). The lock projections (16) are tapered toward the projecting ends thereof and clearances, into which the first closing walls (14A) are insertable are defined between the lock projections (16) and the second closing walls (15A). Out of the opposite ends (14, 15) of the annular projections (12), the ends corresponding to the first closing walls (14A) are fitted on the lock projections (16) to engage the first closing walls (14A) and the lock projections (16), thereby locking the slit (13) in a closed state.
