A connector assembly comprises first (7) and second (4) connecting parts which are oriented for joining by a guide post (6) and a cable having a hydraulic hose core (2) terminating in a radially expandable mandrel (1). Cable (2) is threaded through a bore in connecting part (4) and located in bore (8) of guide post (6) by a hydraulic latch. The cable (2) is tensioned and connecting part (4) slid along the cable to receive guide post (6) in opening (19) thus orienting the two connecting parts for proper connection.

guide is provided for forming a pipe connection from a sub sea wellhead 3 back to a surface platform which may not be in perfect alignment. The guide comprises a guide post 1 and a cable 4 on which it may be lowered through a pipe 6 to the wellhead. The guide post 1 has a radially expandable mandrel 2 for temporary rigid attachment in the wellhead and an elongate portion 1A having a rotatable sleeve 12 over which the pipe 6 may be lowered into engagement with the wellhead and rotation to form the connection desired. The rotation of the pipe 6 to form the connection is possible because of the sleeve 12.

A guide for use in connecting a riser pipe to a subsea riser base comprises a guide post 1 and an expanding mandrel 2 actuable by hydraulic pressure applied through a cable 6 having hydraulic hoses in its core to lock the mandrel in a subsea riser base. The guide post is provided with buoyancy means to reduce its effective weight in water to enable it to be manipulated and manoeuvred by a remote controlled vehicle or diver.
