Our Range of DBB Valves
DBB Bleed Valve

Compact valve with two isolation ball/needle valves and a central bleed valve—ideal for direct mounting and small footprint applications.

Integral DBB Valve

All-in-one design combining isolation and bleed functionality in a single forged body. Reduces weight, installation time, and leak paths.

Injection Quill DBB Valve

Designed for injecting chemicals into the process line with safety isolation and backflow prevention. Suitable for high-pressure pipelines.

Monoflange Valve

Single flange-mounted solution with multiple isolation stages. Commonly used for pressure instrumentation, measurement, and sampling.

Applications
Oil & Gas Industry

The Double Block & Bleed Valve ensures safe isolation and controlled pressure venting in high-pressure pipelines and offshore platforms, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.

Chemical Processing Industry

Used in chemical plants for handling hazardous fluids, the Double Block & Bleed Valve provides secure isolation and safe venting, reducing the risk of leaks and contamination.

Power Generation Industry

In power plants, the Double Block & Bleed Valve ensures secure isolation of steam or cooling water systems and allows safe depressurization during maintenance.

Petrochemical Industry

The Double Block & Bleed Valve is used in petrochemical facilities for isolating and venting pressurized fluids or gases, ensuring system integrity and worker safety.

Marine & Shipbuilding Industry

In marine applications, the Double Block & Bleed Valve is critical for isolating and venting fluid and gas systems aboard ships, ensuring operational reliability and safety.

General Industries

Custom-engineered valve solutions for industrial fluid control.

Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve
Design Features
Double Block & Bleed

Spring loaded floating seats maintain contact with the ball and provide tight shut off even at low pressure differential. Independent sealing of upstream and downstream sides facilities draining of fluid from the body cavity, and thus the double block and bleed operation.

Double Body Sealing

Spring loaded floating seats maintain contact with the ball and provide tight shut off even at low pressure differential. Independent sealing of upstream and downstream sides facilities draining of fluid from the body cavity, and thus the double block and bleed operation.

Fire Safe Design

In the event of fire, soft insert gets burnt and spring loaded seats ensure metal to metal sealing.

Multiple Stem Sealing

A triple sealing arrangement in stem area prevents leakage to atmosphere. It includes double sealing with O-ring and graphite seal at the top of stem housing. The blow out proof stem enables positive stem retention.
