Twin Seal DBB Plug Valves: The Gold Standard for Isolation
The FlowBiz Double Block and Bleed Plug Valve is a non-lubricated, resilient-seated valve designed for applications where absolute shut-off is mandatory. Unlike standard valves that drag their seals across the seating surface, our Twin Seal design utilizes a mechanical retraction system.
The "Zero Wear" Engineering Advantage
- Mechanical Retraction: Two independent seating slips are mounted on a tapered plug via dovetails. Before the plug rotates, the slips mechanically retract away from the seating surface. This eliminates friction and seal abrasion during opening and closing.
- Bubble-Tight Dual Seal: When closed, the plug forces the resilient slips against the valve body, creating two independent seals (Upstream and Downstream).
- Verifiable Integrity (Bleed): The valve features a bleed port that allows operators to drain the body cavity. If no fluid escapes the bleed valve while the main valve is closed, it proves with 100% certainty that both seals are holding perfectly.

Critical Industry Applications
1. Oil & Gas Industry
Essential for Custody Transfer stations where precise measurement is required. Any leakage past the valve could lead to massive financial discrepancies or product contamination.
2. Aerospace & Aviation Refueling
Used in airport fuel hydrant systems and tank farms. The DBB plug valve ensures that different grades of aviation fuel never mix, maintaining the highest safety standards for flight.
3. Navigation & Marine Terminals
Ideal for loading and unloading manifolds at ports, where the valve must withstand harsh maritime environments while providing reliable isolation for various liquid cargos.
Why FlowBiz DBB Plug Valves?
- Eliminate Seal Abrasion: The lift-and-turn motion ensures the resilient seats last significantly longer than traditional ball or gate valves.
- Reduced Maintenance: Since the valve is non-lubricated and features a simple mechanical design, downtime for maintenance is drastically reduced.
- Compact Footprint: Replaces the need for two separate valves and a spool piece with a bleed valve, saving space and reducing weight in offshore or skid-mounted applications.
