Double Block and Bleed (DBB) Valves are engineered for double isolation functionality, achieved by inserting two obturators within a single body. The valves feature a bleed/vent system positioned between the obturators (such as the body port and ball, gate, or needle valve), offering enhanced safety and reliability. This design enables the isolation of a pipeline section from both sides of the valve, ensuring secure shutoff and minimizing the risk of leaks, making it ideal for high-risk industries like oil and gas. The DBB ball valves help reduce the need for additional valves, optimizing both space and cost efficiency while maintaining strong security and operational safety.
