A tapping connector for a pipeline, vessel or the like wherein the connector has a membrane disposed therein. The membrane may be curved or arcuate and may be configured to offer a partially cylindrical profile that resembles the wall of a pipe. The tapping connector may be used to provide future connection points for branch lines to the pipeline, vessel or other containment structure. The membrane so configured may be removed by conventional pipe tapping equipment.
