A universal connector for a fluid flow conduit comprises a tubular connector for attachment at one end to the fluid flow conduit and defining a luer taper tube portion at its other end. A sleeve is carried by and surrounding the tubular connector in relatively rotatable relation thereto. The sleeve defines internal threads for threaded locking connection with another connector. A tubular member having external threads at one end is locked by said external thread in removable threaded locking connection with the internal threads. The tubular member defines at its other end an aperture for sealingly receiving a spike connector.
