Speciality Valve is recognized as a premier Double Block and Bleed Plug Valve Manufacturer in India, serving clients across Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. These valves, represent a quarter-turn rotary motion manual valve. Unlike conventional valves, the plug valve’s distinctive plug disc design ensures a straightway passage, facilitating fluid flow with minimal turbulence through the cylindrical or tapered plug.
What are Double Block and Bleed Plug Valve?
The plug valve stands out due to its adaptability to multiport construction, streamlining piping, and installation while eliminating the need for expensive pipe fittings. A block and bleed valve system, an amalgamation of one or more block valves, serves the crucial purpose of isolating or blocking fluid flow to prevent it from reaching downstream components. In the case of Double Block and Bleed Plug Valves, this functionality is encapsulated within a single valve, reducing potential leak paths, ensuring uninterrupted flow, and minimizing pressure drop.
How does it work?
A double block and bleed (DBB) plug valve consists of two separate block valves integrated into a single body. These valves are positioned at both ends of the valve assembly. Inside the valve body, there’s a plug mechanism that can be rotated to open or close the flow path. When the plug is in the closed position, it forms a seal against the valve seats on both ends, effectively blocking the flow of fluid. In addition to the two block valves, there’s also a bleed valve located between them. The bleed valve is used to vent or bleed off any pressure that may be trapped between the block valves when the plug valve is closed. When the plug valve is in the closed position, pressure from both ends of the valve acts to enhance the sealing mechanism, providing a double block.

Double block and bleed plug valves are commonly used in applications where safety and maintenance are critical, allowing for isolation of equipment for maintenance or repair, while also providing a reliable method for verifying isolation through the bleed valve. To operate a DBB plug valve, the block valves are closed first to isolate the section of the pipeline. The bleed valve is then opened to relieve any pressure between the block valves. Once pressure is safely vented, the plug valve can be operated to open or close the flow path as needed. Overall, double block and bleed plug valves provide an effective solution for isolation and verification in critical applications where safety and reliability are paramount, offering enhanced protection against leaks and ensuring safe maintenance procedures.
