A fluid line connector 1 has a weak breakage point (5, fig 1) that breaks rather than the line or hose to which it is attached. The connector can be cylindrical and contain 1 or 2 (fig 5) non-return valves 8. An interior flange of an opening 13 attaches to a groove 11A found on male fittings 7,11 of a heavy goods vehicle airline or brake line (6, fig 2). The openings may be rubber. The connector can break before the airline when the airline is taut in the event of jack-knifing, and then be replaced by a new connector. The connector can also be used for food or chemicals.
