    Abstract: A method for controlling fluid leaks in a pipe connection. A first step involves providing a clamp having a circular clamping face with a diversion channel positioned in the circular clamping face and a drain outlet in communication with the diversion channel. A second step involves clamping the clamp around a pipe connection so that any fluids leaking from the pipe connection can only escape by being diverted to the diversion channel. A third step involves positioning a container relative to the drain outlet, so that any fluids passing through the drain outlet from the diversion channel are captured in the container.
