A connector arranged for high pressure fluid carrying conduits comprises a central core (1) having at least one fluid passage such as an integral bor e (31), formed therein and an outer member surrounding the central core and being moveable relative thereto. The outer member comprising at least one segment (55) having a fluid flow conduit and sealing means for the connector junctio n comprising an intermediate member, at least one static seal for non-moveable surfaces and at least one dynamic seal for relatively moveable surface. A plurality of segments may be stacked on top of each other and held together by the application of a compression force on shoulders of the segments. A relative rotational capability is preserved for the parts of the connector yet a more reliable and versatile connector is achieved in which the modular constructi on allows a variety of sizes to be offered more easily and cheaply and engineering tolerances can be more easily met than with a single piece construction.</SD OAB>
