ABSTRACT:
A contaminated valve containment device is provided which includes a leak-proof housing that is attachable to a leaking pipe member to prevent migration of contaminants to the environment. Disposed inside the housing is a catch pan for collecting contaminates leaking from the pipe member. A drain tube is provided in communication with the catch pan to evacuate the collected contaminates. An environmentally safe container may be connected to the drain tube for storage of the contaminants. At least one removable panel is provided on the wall of the housing to allow access to the leaking pipe member for maintenance purposes. The removable panel may be secured to the housing by either leak-proof or non-leak-proof seals depending upon the toxicity of the liquid carried by the pipe member.
