Monoblock DBB & DB Needle Valves

Double isolation and bleed in a single compact assembly, engineered for critical and high-pressure applications requiring maximum process safety

What Are Monoblock DBB & DB Valves?

Indra Monoblock DBB and DB valves are engineered to ensure maximum process isolation and safety by integrating double isolation and bleed functions within a single compact assembly. Designed for critical and high-pressure applications, they provide superior reliability while minimizing system size, weight, and potential leak points.

The one-piece forged body provides superior strength and durability rated up to 15,000 PSI, eliminating the complexity of traditional multi-valve assemblies and “Christmas tree” configurations. The same exceptional connection flexibility as the SBB/SB series is available, threaded, flanged, butt-weld, socket-weld, and hub options including mixed inlet/outlet combinations.

Key Features

Double Isolation and Bleed

Two independent isolation valves plus bleed function integrated in a single compact forged body, providing maximum process safety for critical service conditions.

One-Piece Forged Body

Superior strength and durability rated up to 15,000 PSI, eliminating internal weld points and ensuring pressure boundary integrity under extreme conditions.

Minimized System Size and Weight

Significantly reduces system size, weight, and potential leak points compared to equivalent separate valve assemblies for double block and bleed service.

Hub Connection

Compact, clamp-style mechanical interface designed for high-pressure and subsea service, providing significant weight reduction and superior vibration resistance.

Where Monoblock DBB & DB Needle Valves Excel

Distribution Monoblock DBB & DB Needle Valves are the ideal choice for:

Critical process isolation requiring double block and bleed capability, Oil & Gas upstream and midstream services where single isolation is insufficient by procedure or regulation

High-pressure applications up to 15,000 PSI where a compact DBB assembly replaces a multi-valve “Christmas tree” configuration

Subsea and offshore service, hub connection option provides weight reduction and vibration resistance for demanding installation environments

LNG & Cryogenic and Hydrogen service, engineered versions available, designed for reliable operation under extreme temperature and pressure conditions
