DBB Dual-Ball Floating Ball Valves

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

Product Name: DBB Dual-Ball Floating Ball Valve (Double Block & Bleed)

1. Product Description

The DBB (Double Block and Bleed) Dual-Ball Floating Ball Valve is a compact, multi-functional valve designed to provide positive isolation and safe venting in a single body. It integrates two independent floating ball valves (for blocking) and a bleed/vent valve (typically a ball or needle valve) into one unit . This design minimizes potential leak paths, reduces space and weight compared to conventional piping assemblies, and is ideal for applications requiring double isolation such as instrument root isolation, chemical injection, sampling points, and process drain applications .

2. Key Features

• Compact DBB Design: Combines two block valves and one bleed valve in a single forged or cast body, eliminating multiple fittings and flanges .
• Floating Ball Design: Provides reliable bi-directional sealing. The downstream ball is forced against the seat by line pressure .
• Positive Isolation: Achieves double block capability, ensuring zero leakage on both the upstream and downstream sides simultaneously .
• Bleed Function: Central cavity features a bleed port (ball or needle valve) to relieve trapped pressure or verify seal integrity .
• Blowout-Proof Stem: Stem is designed with an internal shoulder to prevent ejection under pressure .
• Anti-Static Device: Springs and balls ensure electrical continuity between the ball, stem, and body to prevent static charge build-up .
• Fire-Safe Design (Optional): Available with fire-safe certification to API 607/6FA, featuring secondary metal-to-metal sealing .
• Low Fugitive Emissions: Optional live-loaded packing and compliance with ISO 15848 / TA-Luft .
