The real meaning or use for a Double Block and Bleed valve (DBB) is in isolating the flow of media in a pipe using three valves.

A DBB is made up of two block valves and one bleed valve. Depending on the process that the DBB is to be used in such as temperature and pressure, the assembly and materials will differ. If the valve is to be used in a noncritical process then the use of a Single Block and Bleed (SBB) valve may be used.

Achieving Positive Isolation

Most Double Block and Bleed valves will be used when performing maintenance, repair or closing down of a section of piping. To achieve positive isolation both block valves are closed. When both block valves are closed the media flow will have stopped. The side which has been closed down can then be drained for safe access and any media trapped in-between the block valves can be drained using the bleed valve.
