R-30 S 2W
Pressure Sustaining Control Valve
2 Way
The following is a step by step narrated description of the Eliptix R-30-S 2W Pressure Sustaining
Valve installation, operation and maintenance processes.
The A.R.I. R-30 Series is 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-S 2-Way Pressure Sustaining Valve is designed to sustain and maintain a pre-defined level
of upstream pressure and relieve excess pressure to the downstream system.

Installation, operation or maintenance of the product should be done only by qualified workers, technicians and/or contractors using only good engineering practices, complying with and observing all conventional safety instructions in order to minimize risk and/or danger and/or hazard to workers, the public or to property in the vicinity in accordance with all relevant local standards. -
Page 5: Installation
R-30 S 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 S 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 S 2.3. Initial Start-up - The Control Valve Make sure that the upstream and downstream isolation valves are closed [2] and [2A]. Turn off the manual 2-way ball valve at the downstream [3B] port of the valve. Slowly open the upstream isolation valve [2]. Turn on the manual 2-way ball valves of the upstream [3A] and the downstream [3B] ports of the valve. -

R-30 S 2.4. Initial Set-up - The Pressure Sustaining Application The following is a general description of the Pressure Sustaining Application: This pressure-sustaining automatic control valve is designed to maintain a minimal preset upstream pressure by releasing excessive pressure to the downstream system. The Eliptix R-30-S valve is a Normally Close Valve (N.C.) that is activated by the line pressure. -
