Provided is a pipe support structure which is constructed to utilize the Coriolis force and the reaction force caused, thereby making it possible to suppress the hose compliance amount in the high temperature area while maintaining the degree of freedom of mountability specific for the resin pipe and to realize the above suppressing effect by the simple construction and at a low cost. The support structure is exemplified by a master hose 12, and has a grommet for resiliently retaining the master hose 12 at at least one of the clamp positions L1, L2. The master hose 12 has an inclined portion and a bent portion 12a having a predetermined radius of curvature "r" between the clamp positions L1, L2. The grommet has a predetermined spring constant "k" and a predetermined attenuation coefficient "h". The positions of the clamp positions L1, L2 and the radius of curvature "r" are set, and the spring constant "k" and the attenuation coefficient "h" are set to have the reaction force Fr caused on the grommet in response to the Coriolis force F c caused on the master hose 12 act for suppressing the heat expansion amount of the master hose 12 when the working oil at a high temperature flows in the master hose 12.
