Double Block and Bleed (DBB) Valves provide a reliable double isolation function, achieved through two obturators within a single body. These valves also offer a bleed/vent function through a bleed system positioned between the obturators (body port and ball, gate, or needle valve). This design ensures that a pipe section can be isolated from both sides of the valve, enhancing safety by preventing accidental leaks, particularly in critical industries such as oil and gas. The DBB ball valves reduce the need for additional valves, offering a more space-efficient and cost-effective solution.
