The irrigation pipe connector also comprising a wing connected to the core 5 and extending radially outwardly therefrom relative to the axis, the wing comprising a radially inward segment and a peripheral segment that extends radially outwardly from the radially inward segment. A thickness of the peripheral segment is smaller than a thickness of the radially inward segment, the thicknesses of the segments being taken in a direction along the axis. In addition, there is a step difference between the thickness of the peripheral segment and the 0 thickness of radially inward segment. 15 4174129 1 (GHMatters) P84724.AU.117 i Nc N t i PigTI Fig.
