The HBB Series valves are redundant 3/2 valve systems designed to meet the needs and requirements of safe hydraulic block and bleed applications. These valve systems are equipped with inductive position switches for external monitoring by an electrical safety control system.

NOTE: Block and Bleed functions are intended to permit flow when switched on and to block supply and to bleed off downstream hydraulic energy when switched off or in a faulted state. It is important to note that the ability to bleed may be affected by other components downstream of the HBB valve. PO checks, counterbalance, and closed-center valves are designed to block flow under certain conditions. Depending on the application, these devices may be detrimental or they may be beneficial to complete the needed safety function. Careful consideration of the required safety function and how to achieve that goal is absolutely necessary.

NOTE: HBB valves are intended to be used only for tasks that are routine, repetitive, and integral to production. Maintenance tasks require following full lock-out/tag-out procedures to relieve hazardous energy and prevent unexpected startup.
