ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for guiding the central tube connector of a production riser for positioning same on an underwater well head installation. The central tube carries, during lowering, a support integral with the tube and formed by a horizontal plate having on its periphery a truncated cone shaped collar widening out towards the bottom, a guide funnel which freely rests on said support having a shoulder also widening out towards the bottom. The tube is lowered until said funnel is engaged on the installation head then, continuing the descent, the tube no longer supports the weight of the funnel and the connection may take place in a conventional way.
