The Double Block and Bleed design features every technical advantage which the series TRI-CON has plus there is a true double block and bleed feature which delivers maximum sealing performance.³
By using this design, the former two valve system with a spool piece becomes obsolete. This fact
is not only important for installation since you have to install only one valve body in the pipeline, but also only one actuator or gearbox is required.4
With Zwick’s unique design of the linkage between the two shafts, the user is able to actuate both shafts with only one actuator and reach maximum leak protection with the two available sealing surfaces.³ The design of the linkage forgives any dimensional changes due to thermal differences in the valve.4
The redundant sealing design of this valve is the ideal valve solution for several critical processes where high-level sealing and pipe inspection via the bleed port are required.³
Applications like multi-product manifolds, meter stations, tank storage isolation or hydrant isolation are very sensitive to leakage and the Double Block and Bleed design would be
an ideal fit.³

The use of the linkage depends on the process data and must be checked on request.
