A new methodology leading to the construction of a universal connection for Frchet principal bundles is proposed in this paper. The classical theory, applied successfully so far for finite dimensional and Banach modelled bundles, collapses within the framework of Frchet manifolds. However, based on the replacement of the space of continuous linear mappings by an appropriate topological vector space, we endow the bundle J1P of 1-jets of the sections of a Frchet principal bundle P with a connection form by means of which we may “reproduce” every connection of P.
