DBB Bleed Valves
Double Block & Bleed
Introduction
A Double Block & Bleed is a specialized valve solution designed to provide maximum isolation and safe pressure venting in critical systems. It combines two isolation valves and a bleed valve into a single, compact unit, allowing users to safely depressurize and drain trapped fluids or gases between the two isolation points. This valve is engineered for high-performance applications, offering a reliable and leak-tight sealing mechanism.
These valves are essential in industries where high-pressure, high-temperature, or hazardous fluid systems require safe and efficient isolation and venting. With robust construction from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or alloy steel, the Double Block & Bleed Valve is ideal for applications in oil and gas pipelines, chemical processing, power generation, and marine systems.
