Double block & bleed valves are among the most versatile and valuable components in a high-pressure fluid control system. If you need to bleed a valve cavity, isolate fluid pressure upstream or downstream, or perform another type of valve maintenance, you need an integral double block and bleed valve (DBB) from Hy-Lok Canada.
Hy-Lok uses state-of-the-art technology to manufacture DBB valves with superior quality, reliability and longevity. Continue reading to learn more about Hy-Lok Canada’s double block and bleed valve catalogue.
What is a Double Block & Bleed Valve?
According to API 6D, double block and bleed valves (DBB) are defined as a “single valve with two seating surfaces that, in the closed position, provides a seal against pressure from both ends of the valve with a means of venting/bleeding the cavity between the seating surfaces.”
Hy-Lok offers a compact range of one-piece forged body Integral block & bleed valves featuring a choice of end connections, body styles and valve technology. The beauty of the double block & bleed valve is that it’s essentially three valves in one!
As DBB valves are forged in one piece, they weigh less than multiple stacked valves, which reduces the amount of stress on the pipes, reduces the number of leak paths, and provides a shorter installation time.
