R-30 RM 3W
Pressure Reducing Control Valve
3 Way
The following is a step by step narrated description of the Eliptix R-30RM 3W Pressure Reducing
Valve installation, operation and maintenance processes.
The A.R.I. R-30 Series is a line of metal, diaphragm-operated, hydraulic control valves.
The valves are suitable for installation in agriculture, water transmission and waterworks systems
for irrigation, landscape and infrastructure applications.
The R-30 series has an innovative elliptic shaped diaphragm that integrates well with a wide variety
of regulating control pilots, solenoids and control accessories.
They are compatibility designed for water level control, flow control, electric & remote control as
well as pressure reducing & pressure sustaining operation.
The R-30 RM Pressure Reducing Valve is designed to reduce a higher upstream pressure to a preset
lower downstream pressure and to maintain this constant pressure regardless of flow-rate or
upstream pressure fluctuations.

Page 5: Installation
R-30 RM Installation Install the product according to the detailed Installation Instructions provided with it by A.R.I. and according to the description given in this manual. The user should install manual Isolation Valves at the valve's upstream and downstream ports. In all installation sites, the user should enable good visibility and verify that the work and auxiliary equipment used are done in accordance with the relevant local authorized standards. -
Page 6: Before Returning To Regular Operation
R-30 RM Before returning to regular operation Re-assemble any protection covers or protection mechanisms removed during service or maintenance operations. Make sure that all the tools, ladders, lifting devices, etc. used during the maintenance procedures are taken away from the product area and stored. Remove grease and fat material residues in order to avoid slipping. -

R-30 RM Make sure that there is a downstream flow demand Turn the pilot valve’s locking nut (4B) counter clockwise, until it touches the adjusting bolt (4A) head. Make sure that the 3-way selector [3] on its “AUTO” position. Turn the adjusting bolt (4A) clockwise until valve starts to open. To increase the downstream pressure, turn the adjusting bolt (4A) clockwise, one turn at a time, allowing sometime between turns for the valve to respond. -
