Apparatus and method for connecting flowlines to underwater wellheads by attaching a pulling head to the flowline and anchoring a pulling head fixture to the wellhead. A releasable pulling tool having a wireline in slidable engagement with the fixture on the wellhead is connected to the flowline pulling head and the head is pulled into engagement with the fixture. When in proper position, the pulling tool is released and fluid communication may then be provided between the wellhead and the pulling head and thus with the flowline.
