Double Block and Bleed Valves
Double block and bleed valves provide dual isolation and a bleed function in a single unit, ensuring enhanced safety and reliability in critical piping systems.
Bestway offers high-quality double block and bleed ball valves, available in both soft and metal seated versions, proven through successful projects in oil and gas and petrochemical industries.
Double block and bleed (DBB) valves integrate two isolation valves and a bleed valve into a compact assembly, enabling secure isolation of fluid flow and safe pressure verification via the bleed port. These valves, particularly in ball valve configurations, are designed for high-integrity applications where safety and minimal leakage are paramount. Available in soft-seated designs for general service and metal-seated for high-temperature or abrasive conditions, DBB valves ensure durability and performance in demanding environments.
Double block and bleed valves are manufactured to meet rigorous industry standards, ensuring reliability and compatibility in critical systems.
