Abstract

A connector comprises a first flange (12) including a number of bolts (26) and a second flange (14) including corresponding screw inserts (28). The bolts (26) and screw inserts (28) include partially grooved surfaces such the each surface includes ungrooved longitudinal sections radially spaced about the circumference. In use, the two flanges (12, 14) are attached to respective sections of a riser and the flanges are moved axially together. Each of the. bolts is then rotated through a partial revolution (e.g. 45°) in order for each bolt (26) to secure to a respective screw insert (28). The bolts can then be locked in this engaged position to lock two sections of the riser together.
