The invention provides a fluid flow connector of the type that includes a flexible rubber bulb-like body 11 that is mounted over the spout of a tap 35. This flexible body 11 comprises an inlet and an outlet, the inlet forming a seal in engagement with the tap 35. According to the invention the flexible body 11 is substantially encased in a cradle 18 that prevents inflation of the body when subjected to internal water pressure, while still allowing access to the inlet and outlet of the flexible body 11. The cradle 18 is preferably secured to the tap by a releasable strap 19, which may comprise a releasable ratchet locking system. The cradle 18 can be formed from moulded plastics material, e.g. polypropylene, that is less flexible than the flexible body 11.
