DB&B - Double block and bleed Ball Valve


     

  KEY FEATURES:  
 
  • Trunnion mounted with spring energized seats
  • Soft or metal seated
  • Side Entry or Top Entry design
  • Bi-directional tight shut-off
  • Fire safe and fire tested
  • Low operating torque design
  • End to end dimension up to manufacturer standard
  • Wide range of materials and sizes
  • Anti-blowout stem design
  • Space saving design available on request on certain sizes
 

  BENEFITS:  
 

Our side entry and top entry DB&B ball valves are bolted construction to allow full replacement of the internal components in case of service. The body structural design is in accordance with the major design codes (e.g. API-6D or API-6A; ASME VIII; ANSI B16.34; ISO 17292; EEMUA 182, etc.). Balls are trunnion mounted to allow easy and reliable operation and low stroking torque under the most extreme service conditions. Ball is supported by self-lubricated bearing to guarantee long lasting maintenance-free performance. All our DB&B valves have a three-piece bolted construction (main centre body with two closures for side entry and with two covers for top entry). The two ball valves within the same body act independently from each other and each of the four seats can be configured (SPE or DPE) to better suit the specific application. The space between the two ball valves is fitted with a needle bleed valve that can be connected to a vent system to safely isolate the downstream side of the DB&B valve. The size and the design of the bleed connection can be modified to suit customer specifications.
