According to one embodiment, an apparatus, connectable to objects of different sizes, comprises: a first connection body comprising a first plurality of spaced-apart connectors and a second plurality of spaced-apart connectors; and a second connection body comprising a first connector and a second connector, the first connector connectable to and disconnectable from a first one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors, and the second connector connectable to and disconnectable from a first one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors. When the first connector is connected to the first one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors and when the second connector is connected to the first one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors, the first connection body and the second connection body define a region having a first size between the first connection body and the second connection body. Methods are also disclosed.

1. An apparatus connectable to objects of different sizes, the apparatus comprising: a first connection body comprising a first plurality of spaced-apart connectors and a second plurality of spaced-apart connectors spaced apart from the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors; anda second connection body comprising a first connector and a second connector spaced apart from the first connector of the second connection body, the first connector connectable to and disconnectable from a first one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors, and the second connector connectable to and disconnectable from a first one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors, wherein when the first connector is connected to the first one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors and when the second connector is connected to the first one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors, the first connection body and the second connection body define a region having a first size between the first connection body and the second connection body. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a first cover body defining an opening sized to receive an object sized to be clamped in the first region. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first size of the region is sized to clamp a generally cylindrical object having a first diameter. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors are spaced apart from each other in a first plane. 5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors are spaced apart from each other in a second plane extending non-parallel to the first plane. 6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the second plane extends generally perpendicular to the first plane. 7. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a third connection body comprising a third connector and a fourth connector spaced apart from the third connector of the third connection body, the third connector connectable to and disconnectable from a second one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors different from the first one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors, and the fourth connector connectable to and disconnectable from a second one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors different from the first one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors, wherein when the third connector is connected to the second one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors and when the fourth connector is connected to the second one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors, the first connection body and the third connection body are positioned to define a region having a second size, different from the first size, between the first connection body and the third connection body. 8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the first and second connectors are spaced apart from each other by a first separation distance, and wherein the third and fourth connectors are spaced apart from each other by a second separation distance different from the first separation distance. 9. The apparatus of claim 7 further comprising a second cover body defining an opening sized to receive an object sized to be clamped in the second region. 10. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the second size of the region is sized to clamp a generally cylindrical object having a second diameter. 11. The apparatus of any one of claim 7 further comprising a fourth connection body comprising a fifth connector and a sixth connector spaced apart from the fifth connector of the fourth connection body, the fifth connector connectable to and disconnectable from a third one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors different from the first and second ones of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors, and the sixth connector connectable to and disconnectable from a third one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors different from the first and second ones of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors, wherein when the fifth connector is connected to the third one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors and when the sixth connector is connected to the third one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors, the first connection body and the fourth connection body are positioned to define a region having a third size, different from the first and second sizes, between the first connection body and the fourth connection body. 12. A spill container comprising: a container body; andan apparatus connectable to objects of different sizes, the apparatus comprising: a first connection body connected to the container body and comprising a first plurality of spaced-apart connectors and a second plurality of spaced-apart connectors spaced apart from the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors; anda second connection body comprising a first connector and a second connector spaced apart from the first connector of the second connection body, the first connector connectable to and disconnectable from a first one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors, and the second connector connectable to and disconnectable from a first one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors, wherein when the first connector is connected to the first one of the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors and when the second connector is connected to the first one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors, the first connection body and the second connection body define a region having a first size between the first connection body and the second connection body. 13. The spill container of claim 12 further comprising a pipe or a pipe nipple connected to the apparatus. 14. A method of connecting a first connection body and a second connection body to an object, the method comprising: connecting a first connector of the second connection body to one of a first plurality of spaced-apart connectors on the first connection body; andconnecting a second connector of the second connection body, spaced apart from the first connector of the second connection body, to one of a second plurality of spaced-apart connectors on the first connection body and spaced apart from the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors,wherein connecting the second connector of the second connection body to the one of the second plurality of spaced-apart connectors on the first connection body comprises defining a region between the first connection body and the second connection body to receive the object. 15. The method of claim 14 wherein defining the region between the first connection body and the second connection body comprises clamping the object between the first connection body and the second connection body. 16. The method of claim 14 wherein the object comprises a pipe or a pipe nipple. 17. The method of claim 14 wherein defining the region between the first connection body and the second connection body comprises connecting the object to a spill container. 18. The method of claim 14 wherein the first plurality of spaced-apart connectors are spaced apart from each other in a first plane. 19.
