R-31 Q 2W
Quick Pressure Relief Control Valve
2 Way
The following is a step by step narrated description of the Eliptix R-31-Q 2W Quick Pressure Relief
Valve installation, operation and maintenance processes.
The A.R.I. R-30/31 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-30/31 series has an innovative elliptic shaped diaphragm that integrates well with a wide
variety of regulating control pilots, solenoids and control accessories.
The valves are compatibility designed for water level control, flow control, electric & remote control
as well as pressure reducing & pressure sustaining operation.
The R-31-Q 2-Way Quick Pressure Relief Valve is designed to relief excess pressure to the
atmosphere. When the line pressure reaches the preset level, the valve opens quickly and releases
the excessive pressure. Once the pressure is re-stabilized the valve closes gradually for protecting
the pipeline from rapid surge.
