What Are You Looking For?
DBB The GEKO Double Block and Bleed Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve is engineered for maximum safety, reliability, and performance in critical process applications. Featuring a twin ball design within a single valve body, this valve provides true double isolation and bleed (DBB) functionality — ensuring complete separation between upstream and downstream flow lines.
It is widely used in pipelines, pumping and compression stations, offshore and onshore facilities, cryogenic systems, and high-temperature or abrasive services. The compact twin-ball configuration reduces both installation space and overall weight, delivering exceptional cost efficiency and enhanced line integrity.

Each valve integrates two independently operated trunnion-mounted ball
valves within one body, separated by a central cavity equipped with a drain
valve. This configuration enables operators to safely vent, test, or drain the
intermediate chamber, confirming tight shut-off on both sides.
Both valves retain all the premium features of GEKO’s side-entry trunnion
ball valves, including:
* Floating independent seat rings for reliable sealing under variable pressures.
* Single Piston Effect (SPE) or Double Piston Effect (DPE) seat design,
depending on customer requirements.
* Availability in soft- or metal-seated configurations, suitable for a wide
range of fluids and operating conditions.
* Optional internal overlay and extended stem for buried or insulated pipeline
applications.
* Compatible with all standard actuation methods (manual, pneumatic, electric,
or hydraulic).The result is a robust and compact DBB solution offering higher
safety, reduced maintenance, and minimal pressure loss.

Advantages:
- Compact twin-valve design reduces face-to-face length and total weight.
- Ensures complete isolation and safe pressure venting between two barriers.
- Lower installation and maintenance costs with enhanced operational safety.
- Flexible configuration suitable for both low and high-pressure systems.
