ABSTRACT:
A device for containing and redirecting fluid which is released when a fitting is removed from an end of a pipe is attached to a pipe after the connection between the pipe and the fitting has been loosened. The device comprises a bag which has an opening in the top of the bag. The opening allows the bag to be placed over the fitting that is to be removed. The bag has a plurality of adjustment straps which connect to an upper portion and a lower portion of the bag. When the adjustment straps are adjusted, slack is formed in the material of the bag between upper and lower ends of the adjustment straps. The slack thus formed allows the fitting within the bag to be manipulated so that the fitting can be removed from the pipe. Fluid discharged from the pipe upon removal of the fitting is contained within the bag or directed through a hose to a receptacle or drain.
