Abstract

A dual containment channel for fluids comprising a plurality of channel segments defining a channel run. Each of the channel segments comprises two spaced apart opposing channel segment side walls connected by a bottom wall for carrying a fluid. A cover is positioned between and supported by the side walls to enclose the open top of the channel run. A conduit support is positioned along the channel run along its length for supporting at least one fluid carrying conduit. An elastomeric sealing strip is positioned in two U-shaped grooves to form with grooves in the opposing channel segment side walls a continuous seal with the underside of the cover.
