TWIN BALL DOUBLE BLOCK AND BLEED FLOATING BALL VALVES
High-performance valves engineered for the oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, water, and energy industries
Negri Fratelli Twin Ball Double Block and Bleed floating ball valves are designed to ensure maximum safety, reliability and ease of maintenance, even in critical or high-pressure installations. The twin ball design provides complete shut-off in both directions and allows venting of the internal cavity.
These valves are used in a wide range of applications, including pipelines, refineries, large power plants, industrial water treatment systems and process lines where operational continuity and safety are essential.
