A connector (10) for detachably interconnecting the intermediate portion of a first, primary line (16) and the end portions of secondary lines (24) includes two separate, identical opposing members (30) having complementary, substantially planar mating faces (32). Grooves (34) extend centrally across the mating faces (32) of the connector members (30) to cooperatively define a primary passageway (36) extending through the connector member at the interface of the two connector members to snugly receive the primary line (16) therein. A hollow post (50) extends transversely from the mating face (32) of each connector member to engage within a close fitting, aligned socket (52) formed in the opposite connector member thereby to clamp the two connector members together. The two opposing connector members (30) also have portions cooperatively defining a pair of secondary passageways (40) extending through the connector (10) at the interface of the two connector members (30). The secondary passageways (40) are composed of a first longitudinal section (44) extending alongside the primary passageway and transverse sections (46) interconnecting the longitudinal sections (44) with the outer exterior of the connector (10). The secondary passageways (40) are designed to detachably receive the end portions of connector lines (24), with the longitudinal sections (44) of the secondary passageways (40) sized larger than knots (45) formed near the ends of the connector lines (24) and the transverse sections (46) being large enough to receive the connector lines (24) but small enough to prevent passage of the knots 45 of the connector lines therethrough.
