Double Block And Bleed Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve

Double Block And Bleed Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve

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.

Key Highlights

Zero leakage, compact structure, fire-safe design, double sealing integrity, easy maintenance, suitable for isolation and venting in high-pressure systems


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.
