A pre-assembled flexible connector for resiliently connecting spaced fluid conduits without making on-site adjustments in the flexible connector. The flexible connector is formed of a flexible body member having at each end an annualar support member in the form of a coupling flange for making a mating engagement with one of the spaced fluid conduits. The coupling flanges have at equally spaced points of attachment adjacent its periphery at least two flexible control elements resistant to elongation which interconnect the coupling flanges and limit the axial extension of the body member. Each of the flexible control elements has its ends fixedly enclosed in an externally threaded sleeve which forms a permanent threaded engagement with an internally threaded passage formed in the coupling flanges at the equally spaced points of attachment in facing surfaces of the coupling flanges without the ends of the sleeves protruding beyond the outer surfaces of the coupling flanges.
