At Array, producing quality plug valves is not just about ensuring

customer satisfaction and maintenance free performance – It is

about preventing accidents which may have environmental impact.

The purpose of every valve manufactured by Array is to control the flow

of volatile, often toxic, liquids and gases and keep them from being

emitted into the atmosphere or spilled on the ground or into the water.

That is why every valve we sell is designed and manufactured to exceed

standards set forth by the American Petroleum Institute (API), ASME,

and other specifying organizations and why Array’s quality systems and

make a difference
the quality systems of all of our suppliers are certified by API and/or

the International Standards Organization (ISO).

our environment
It is also why we spend so much time working closely with our

customers and suppliers to continuously improve the quality of

our valves and the efficiency of our systems – because we recognize

that the quality of our valves can positively impact the quality of

our environment.

It is our primary concern and motivation.

The Array Accuseal® expanding plug valve is a high integrity positive shut-off valve designed

for applications where tight shut-off, verifiable zero leak rate and double block and bleed

(DBB) capabilities are required.

The Accuseal® DBB valve is effective for a variety of applications including offshore platforms,

aviation fueling, tank farms, terminals, custody transfer units, meter stations, multiple-product

FOR ARRAY PLUG VALVES

manifolds and bulk product isolation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Accuseal® DBB valve offers many design advantages over alternative double block and

bleed systems that require two valves with a spool and bleed valve in-between. It also has

advantages when compared with many competitive single DBB valve designs.

The Accuseal® DBB valve is a single valve solution that provides the function of simultaneously

blocking both the upstream and downstream flow while allowing the user to verify seal

integrity utilizing a manual or automatic body bleed system.

All Accuseal® DBB valves are manufactured per ISO 9001 and monogrammed per API 6D.

available upon request.
 page 10

Molded Seals: valve seals are molded into the slip, providing strength,

durability and long seal life.

Seals Retracted During Valve Operation: Slip seals are fully retracted

when the valve is being opened or closed. This prevents abrasion of the

seals during valve operation, extends seal life and ensures a perfect

seal every time.

of ARRAY PLUG VALVES

One Piece Plug & Stem: The robust one piece design eliminates

stem-to-plug connection failures common with many two-piece designs.

Protected Position Indicator: The valve position indicator is protected by

a durable clear acrylic cover. This prevents accumulation of foreign

materials that could impair valve function while providing full visibility of

the valve position indicator flag at all times. When stem extensions, motor

actuator kits (MAK’s) or limit switch assemblies are used with a valve,

a special top cover with weather seal is used in place of the acrylic cover.

Customized Relief Systems Available: The Accuseal® DBB valve comes

standard with an automatic differential thermal relief (ADTR) system with

manual bleed valve option. Other types of relief systems are available

upon request.

Reduced Leak-Paths in Relief System: The Accuseal® ADTR system has

fewer threaded connections than many other designs. This reduces the

probability of leaks in the system. FEATURES

Can be Adapted for Motorized Operation: The Accuseal® DBB valve can
be fitted with a motor actuator kit (MAK) which allows it to accept most

commercially available electric actuators.

In-Line Repairable: The Accuseal® DBB valve can be serviced without

having to remove the valve from the line. Slips can be removed from the

bottom by removing the bottom cover or from the top by removing the

upper bonnet.

Slip sealing surfaces

Upper port for relief system

Lower trunnion

Array Accuseal® expanding plug valves contain a number of features designed to mitigate problems inherent in competitive designs.
These features set the Accuseal® valve apart from the competition and ensure years of worry-free service.
 page 12

Location of upper port for relief system

The upper port for relief system has been located on the upper section

of the valve body instead of on the lower portion of the valve bonnet.

This eliminates any need to disassemble the relief system in order to

remove the valve bonnet. Some competitive DBB valve designs have

the upper port for the relief system located on the upper bonnet.

FOR ARRAY PLUG VALVES

Consequently, the relief system needs to be dismantled whenever

the upper trunnion or packing needs to be maintained or repaired.

By placing the relief system port on the upper section of the valve body

instead of the upper bonnet, the Array Accuseal® DBB valve eliminates

these additional maintenance requirements.

Treatment of slip sealing surfaces

Slip sealing surfaces in the valve body cavity are either inlaid with

design benefits
stainless steel or plated with electroless nickel (depending on valve

size) to ensure a corrosion-free sealing surface for slip seals.

Valve sizes 8" and below are inlaid with 316 series stainless steel.

Valve sizes 10" and above are electroless nickel plated (ENP).

Design of lower trunnion

The lower trunnion has been incorporated as an integral part of the

lower bonnet and is not part of the plug. This design feature prevents

particulates from accumulating in the valve body cavity and interfering

with valve function.

* This is the standard relief system for Accuseal® Expanding Plug Valves. Other configurations are available per customer request.
 page 14

Manual Bleed With Thermal Relief to Upstream

This system is designed to decrease excess pressure in the valve body

cavity due to temperature changes when the valve is in the closed position.

Thermal Bypass OptionS

It is similar to a thermal relief to atmosphere system but has a manual

valve that acts as an override so it has both manual and automatic relief

capabilities. The thermal relief system will vent to upstream when

differential pressure exceeds 25 psi. For the automatic relief system to

function, the valve controlling the upstream vent must be kept open and

the valve controlling the manual bleed to atmosphere must be kept closed.

Manual Bleed to Atmosphere

This is a very simple bleed system that is operated manually. When the

valve is in the closed position, the manual bleed valve can be opened to

confirm plug seal integrity. The manual bleed valve should be closed

before opening the plug.

Thermal Relief to Upstream With Gauge

This system is designed to decrease excess pressure in the valve body

Body bleed &

cavity due to temperature changes. It is similar to a thermal relief to

upstream system but uses a gauge to measure the sealing integrity.

A bubble tight seal can therefore be verified at all times without expelling

any line media. The thermal relief system will vent to upstream when

differential pressure exceeds 25 psi.

Thermal Relief to Atmosphere

This system is designed to decrease excess pressure in the valve body

cavity due to temperature changes when the valve is in the closed position.

It is an automatic system that vents to the upstream when differential

pressure exceeds 50 psi.

VALVE OPERATION
Opening the Valve Turn the hand-wheel counter clockwise. During this operation the plug is raised while the slips are retracted
away from the body. When the slips are fully retracted from the body seating area, the plug is then able to rotate 90 degrees to

the fully open position. When the valve is in the full open position, the slips and slip seals are completely protected from line flow.

Closing the Valve: Turn the hand-wheel clockwise. During this operation the retracted plug and slips are rotated 90 degrees
without body contact. This rotation continues until the slips are positioned over the upstream and downstream port areas.
Continued rotation of hand-wheel mechanically forces the plug downward and forces the slips outward to seal firmly against the
valve body. This produces a secondary metal to metal seal on both upstream and downstream areas providing double isolation.
