To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the present invention provides an adapter tool for coupling a bend stiffener with a diverless bellmouth interface in a bellmouth with a BSN900E interface. The adapter tool provides interchangeability and flexibility between projects and project phases, even when different bellmouth models are used. The tool is characterized in that it includes a split adapter ring (10), the top of which is shaped to fit the dovetail profile of the BSN900E model cap, and the bottom of which is shaped to fit the seat profile of the cap of the diverless bellmouth (40). The present invention has two assembly methods that guarantee operational safety of the adapter unit, specifically: a method that uses only screws positioned in the split ring, and another method in which assembly includes a unit with a support ring and rods in addition to the split ring.
