A bleed valve assembly for use in a double block and bleed valve system having first and second block valves comprising: a body adapted to be disposed between said first and second block valves, said body forming a chamber between said first and second block valves and partially defining a flowway through said body, said body further having a cavity and a drain outlet in open communication with said cavity; a valve assembly disposed in said cavity between said first and second block valves, said valve assembly including a valve element rotatable between a first, open position permitting drainage through said valve assembly and a second, closed position preventing drainage through said valve assembly, said valve element being profiled such that no substantial dead spaces are formed in said flowway by said valve assembly when said valve element is in said second position, a valve element opening being formed between said cavity and said chamber, a seal member being received in said valve element opening and engageable with said valve element to effect a seal between said body and said valve element when said valve element is in said second position; and means defining a drain passage through said valve assembly when said valve element is in said first position.
