An irrigation pipe connector (16) has a core (18) that is adapted to connect to an irrigation element (40) and a wing (20) that is attachable to a wall of a pipe (10). The wing (20) is provided with resiliency to allow the connector (16) to deform in response to changing fluid pressures in the pipe (10). In addition, the wing (20) may be provided with a thin segment in order to reduce potential damage during welding of the wing to the wall of the pipe (10).
