Valve Type

Core Features

Primary Benefits

DBB Ball Valves

Two full-port balls + central bleed port; 90° quarter-turn operation.

Fast isolation, low pressure drop, ideal for high-flow/hazardous media (hydrocarbons, chemicals).

DBB Plug Valves

Dual conical plugs with bleed channel; tight metal-to-metal sealing.

Excellent for abrasive slurries or viscous fluids (mining, oil sands); resists fouling.

DBB Gate Valves

Two parallel gates with intermediate bleed; linear motion.

Superior shutoff in high-pressure steam or heavy oil systems; minimal leakage in static service.
