1. A connector for use in forming a joint between a first surface and a settled second surface comprising:

  • a hollow male member having a body wholly embedded in the first surface and an open ended protrusion extending from the body;

    a hollow female member to be wholly embedded in the second surface, the female member having a mating opening for receiving the protrusion; and

    flexible sealing means for forming a fluid tight seal between the female member and male member,where, when installed, a tendon forming part of the first surface is able to extend through the entirety of the male member into the female member and where, prior to grouting, subsequent movement of the male member in any direction caused by the tendon during settling of the first surface is facilitated by the flexibility of the sealing means without breaking the fluid tight seal it forms between the male and female member.
