All the MTS DBB Plug valves are fitted with a drain valve in the bottom bonnet. It can be used as
manual bleed to verify the seat integrity as well as to drain completely the shell cavity.

Design Data

MTS Valves & Technology is a reputed and well

known plug valve manufacturer. It was founded
in 1973, and belongs to Valvospain Group since
2006. MTS provides to its Customers not only the
best High Quality, Reliable and Low Maintenance
Valve, but the best service, and advice in the
selection of the most accurate valve for each
service.

MTS has become a world Leader Company on

manufacturing self-lubricated Plug valves, mainly
for high pressure in Desalination Plants.

Our company has been focusing all its Research and Development efforts during the
last years on developing the DBB Dual Expanding
Plug Valve.

MTS has designed a complete range of Dual

Expanding Plug Valves and is manufacturing
DBB Plug Valves for Tank Terminals, such as Fujairah
Aegean Terminal in 2013.

What Double Block and Bleed means

It is the valve capability to seal both seating
surfaces at the same time, upstream and
downstream, allowing the shell cavity bleeding
without any risk of losing the pipeline fluid. The
valve ensures the tight shut-off at both ends,
providing a double closing valve.

This characteristic is usually demanded in critical services and fulfilled in the past by mean
of two valves. The DBB plug valve design saves
costs and reduces the required space in line as
result of being a single valve.

DESIGN

Viton seals guarantee positive tight shut-off in

both its seating faces, upstream and downstream, at the same time. It is achieved by the
plug wedge effect and it is independent of the
pipeline pressure.

BODY PRESSURE RELIEF

It is an optional feature and provides possibility

to bleed the body cavity, either manually or/and
automatically. It avoids plug-lock or even possible shell damage due to thermal over-pressure.

FIRE SAFE DESIGN

Slip metal face matches body seat face, assuring

metal-to-metal sealing, in case of resilient seal
results fired.

BACK SEAT

Top guiding shaft matches the top bonnet seat

area when the valve is fully open, increasing
the packing life and allowing its replacement
while the line is under pressure.

EASY MAINTENANCE

CHARACTERISED PORT

Plug and body ports are diamond shaped,

allowing flow regulation and avoiding sudden
increases of flow.

DOUBLE TRUNNION DESIGN

The plug is perfectly guided by mean of top and

bottom shafts. It ensures clearance between slips
and body when turning the plug, avoiding seal
wearing.

NO WEARING IN SEALING ELEMENTS

Both slips are retracted from the body seat area,

previously to turn the plug, avoiding any friction
between the slip resilient insert and the body. This
characteristic increases the life of the sealing
elements and decreases the operating torque,
being an advantage when comparing to other
types of isolation service valves, such as gate or
ball valves.
