Abstract
A connector for connecting two subsea well assembly components; wherein the connector is arranged such that it can be preloaded in both tension and compression concurrently. The connector includes a tension part which in use can be in tension and a compression part that in use can be in compression. The tension part has an adjustable length and/or the compression part has an adjustable length. There is also provided a subsea well assembly, that includes a first subsea well assembly component; and a second subsea well assembly component; wherein the first subsea well assembly component and the second subsea well assembly component are connected to each other to provide a well conduit therebetween. The first subsea well assembly component and the second subsea well assembly component are connected such that forces can be transmitted both in tension and compression between the two components without going through the well conduit.
