The invention relates to a connector (3) for connecting a flow pipe leading to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle to a feed pump. Said connector comprises an elbowed connecting sleeve (7) which can be rotationally fixed in various angular positions in a receiver (6). Said connecting sleeve (7) is positively fixed in the receiver (6) by a catch means (9). In this way, the forces acting on the flow pipe are kept at a distance from a seal pertaining to the connecting sleeve (7).
