1.4 Operaon
The RSGV gate valve is designed and manufactured to close to completely, block ow, or open fully to allow maximum ow in
pipelines.
It is suitable for use with potable water, raw water and low solids sewage up to 40°C for AS4020 Compliance or 65°C for general
applicaons.
Minimum liquid temperature must be above freezing.
1.5 Design Constraints
Please consider the following points when selecng your valve:
- Consideraon should be given at the design stage as to where valves will be located to give access for operaon, adjustment,
maintenance and repair.
- If a valve is installed less than 6 diameters downstream of an elbow or tee etc., it will experience very high-localised velocies
that are far in excess of the average velocity. This high velocity will result in excessive turbulence within the valve and
variaons in performance may be experienced, therefore installaon in this area should be avoided.
- Valves must be provided with adequate support. Adjoining pipework must be supported to avoid the imposion of pipeline
strains on the body which may impair its performance.
- Heavy valves may need independent support or anchorage.
1.3 Features
Ideal for use on potable water and sewerage applicaons.
Designed and tested in accordance with AS2638.2.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
2.1 Preparaon before installaon of gate valve
Valves should be protected during transportaon. Collision and falling should be avoided during transportaon and installaon.
Liing the valve directly by the aached Key Cap or Hand Wheel is strictly prohibited.
Due to RSGV comprising rubber components, they are not to be stored exposed outdoors or exposed in sunshine for long
periods of me.
If the valve is installed in a pit, enough space shall be kept to accommodate the working personnel.
The pipelines shall be designed with supporng xtures such as support frames. It is strictly prohibited for the valve to support
the pipeline weight or external weight.
Prior to connecng the valve with the pipeline, the ange shall be welded to the pipe. It is strictly prohibited to clamp the valve
during the ange welding.
Foreign materials shall be cleared from the pipelines. It is strictly prohibited to leave weld slag, stones or other foreign
materials in the pipeline which could damage the valve.
Prior to installaon of the valve, prepare handling tools, spanners and other necessary tools, gaskets, bolts (or studs), nuts and
washers. Bolts and nuts shall meet the pipeline design requirements. It is strictly prohibited to use fasteners without
sucient strength.
2.2 Installaon of gate valve
When installing the gate valves, ensure that the seat and the ange faces are clean.
When valves are provided with liing lugs, plates or eye nuts, these must be used to li the valve.
To ensure adequate sealing it is important to select the correct type of gasket for the medium
concerned, gaskets with the correct ange size must be used.
Place valve between pipe anges and insert gaskets and bolts.
Tighten bolts loosely.
Tighten bolts in a diagonal sequence to ensure anges are pulled up parallel. As per bolng
sequence shown right (Figure 1).
Finally, ghten bolts to correct torque levels as recommended per WSA 109.
2.3 Maintenance of gate valve
The valve is to be maintained periodically.
No lubricaon is required as the medium lubricates all required parts.
Make sure all bonnet and ange bolts are ght at all mes.
Changing of Bonnet Gaskets
- Make sure no pressure is in the pipeline
- Remove bonnet fasteners
- Remove bonnet
- Remove and replace bonnet gasket
- Replace bonnet
- Ret fasteners and ghten.

3. WARRANTY
This warranty covers faults in the products construcon, material and assembly.
Products which are within 12 months from the date of purchase and are found to be defecve aer inspecon by a Challenger
authorised representave in construcon, material or assembly will be repaired or exchanged with an equivalent product free
of charge (at the discreon of Challenger)
Warranty Condions:
1. The installaon of the product is in accordance with the instrucons provided.
2. Proof of purchase (including date of purchase) is provided.
3. The product has not been used in an unsuitable or improper manner.
4. The product has not been aected by inadequate or lack of maintenance.
5. The product has not been aected by unsuitable media, chemical or electrical inuences.
6. Applicaon does not exceed the max allowable temperature of 65 degrees Celsius or connuous 40 degrees Celsius.
7. Pressure does not exceed 16 Bar (1600Kpa)
8. Installaon is subject to the requirements of the applicable regulatory authority.
2.3 Maintenance of gate valve
Changing O-Ring seals while in the open posion.
- Ensure valve is operated to the fully open posion.
- Once fully open, wind a further 1/2” turn open.
Note: At this moment the valve is over open to 1 degree. The gate
nut will support the mang collar and then engage the back seal.
- Disassemble the gland ange to gain access to stem o-rings.
Note, if excess leakage occurs the back seal hasn't been engaged.
- Remove the old O-Rings.
- Slide the new O-Ring over the stem.
- Reassemble the gland ange and re-ghten gland bolts.
Changing O-Ring seals while in the closed posion.
- Ensure valve is operated to the fully closed posion.
- Once fully closed, wind a further 1/2” turn closed.
Note: At this moment the valve is over closed to 1 degree. The add-
onal force upon the gate will push the stem up and engage the
back seal.
- Disassemble the gland ange to gain access to stem o-rings.
Note, if excess leakage occurs the back seal hasn't been engaged.
- Remove the old O-Rings.
- Slide the new O-Ring over the stem.
- Reassemble the gland ange and re-ghten gland bolts.
