Oliver Valves
Oliver Valves is a globally recognized manufacturer of high-quality instrumentation and isolation valve solutions, headquartered in Knutsford, Cheshire, UK. Since its founding in 1979, the company has grown from a small specialist shop into an industry leader — trusted by major energy operators worldwide.
At the heart of Oliver’s offerings are their premium-grade instrumentation valves — including needle valves, gauge valves, hand valves and manifolds — designed for accurate, reliable performance in demanding service conditions. Equally notable is their industry-leading line of Resilient Seated Double Block and Bleed (DBB) valves, offering true double isolation and leak-tight safety in a compact, single-unit design that replaces the need for multiple separate valves.
Engineered to meet stringent standards
Oliver’s valves are engineered to meet stringent standards, including high-pressure, high-temperature and harsh-service requirements, making them ideal for:
- critical instrumentation
- sampling, injection
- venting and isolation applications in oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, hydrogen, carbon-capture and other industrial sectors
With an extensive stock range, bespoke engineering capabilities, and a reputation for reliability and safety under pressure, Oliver Valves continues to set the standard for instrumentation and DBB valve solutions worldwide.

Key features & Benefits
- Space-saving – ability to replace single isolate valves with a true double block and bleed valve, but within the same overall length, ensuring that expensive pipework modifications are kept to an absolute minimum.
- Weight-saving – compared to a conventional Double Block and Bleed hook up of two separate ball valves with a central spool piece and vent valve, weight savings can be over 50%.
- Increased Safety – compared to a conventional Double Block and Bleed arrangement using separate valves, the number of potential leak points is greatly reduced.
- Cost-saving – fewer items to purchase and expedite means overall cost savings, plus lower installation and maintenance costs.
