The invention relates to a connection system for connecting lines requiring angular orientation to land based or subsea production structures, the system including a connector (200) and a connector receiver (100) secured to a production structure surface (110) adapted to receive the connector. The connector receiver includes guide slots (108) for receiving guide keys (208) of the connector. The guide slots serve to guide the connector into angular and axial alignment with the connector receiver and to provide a soft landing preventing damage to the connecting ends.
