Abstract
A connector for connecting tubing to a component in a downhole well completion system in which a sub is provided for connection to the component and a sleeve extends over a portion of the sub to define a mandrel for receiving the tubing. A plurality of locking slips extend in windows provided through the sub and are forced into locking engagement with the reeled tubing as the sleeve is advanced over the sub to transfer axial and torsional loads from the component to the tubing.
