MCC lists the US Helix VR 2.3 on a 230 V, 3 phase, 70 A supply with a 7,500 W heater, and Wagner Australia also lists 3 phase, 70 A. Both list a weight of 285 lbs (123 kg). Other markets use other voltages, so check the data plate. We do not state a hose length or a generator size.
The Helix VR 2.3 is a heated, two-part proportioner, and it asks more of a site than a paint sprayer does. It needs a three-phase electrical supply, floor space that can take its weight, and a hose route to the work. This guide gathers the figures we can support, names where each came from, and leaves out the ones we cannot. It is not a substitute for the Titan manual or an electrician.
Electrical supply
For the US version, the MCC listing gives 230 V, 3 phase, 70 A with a 7,500 W 3-stack heater as standard. Wagner Australia also lists a 3 phase, 70 A supply. A three-phase supply is not what an ordinary household or shop outlet delivers, so have a qualified electrician confirm what your site has and what it needs before you order.
Two electrical parts on the site name the Helix. The 138523 Block Power Distribution lists the Helix VR in its fits field, and the 138466 Power Cord Assembly (A-Side) lists the Helix FR and VR. We name them so you recognise them, and we do not explain where they sit in the machine.
Weight and moving it
MCC and Wagner Australia both list the VR 2.3 at 285 lbs (123 kg). Titan says the VR is 30 percent lighter than comparable proportioners, a claim repeated in the same listings. Even so, 285 lbs is not something to lift by hand. Plan how it gets off the truck and to the work area before delivery day. Footprint dimensions are not something we can confirm here, so ask for them from the manual or our parts team if floor space is tight.
Hose
A published standard hose length for the VR rests on a single source, so we do not give one. What the site lists is a 0153731 Heated Hose Assembly sold as a 100 ft length, for Helix FR and VR, and a 138296 Hose Assembly listed for the Helix FR and VR heated hose and for the VR. Before you buy, walk the route from where the machine will sit to the farthest point you need to spray, and confirm with us what hose arrangement your unit ships with.
Pressure, and how the LP compares
The VR 2.3 is listed at a maximum of 3300 psi. Titan's Helix LP is a different class of machine, a low-pressure spray foam proportioner, and its published figures are far lower. This table sets the two side by side, with the VR's single-source figures left out.
Site planning figures for the Helix VR 2.3 and Helix LP
| Item | Helix VR 2.3 | Helix LP |
|---|---|---|
| Supply | 230 V, 3 phase, 70 A (MCC); Wagner: 3 phase, 70 A | 230 V, 30 A |
| Heater power | 7,500 W 3-stack, standard (MCC) | Hose 4600 W; system 6900 W; 1 HP |
| Weight | 285 lbs (123 kg) (MCC, Wagner Australia) | Not published here |
| Hose | Confirm with our parts team | 200 ft, listed for 0138040 |
| Max pressure | 3300 psi | 120 psi |
Check every figure against the data plate and manual for your unit. Other markets use different voltages.
Checklist before you commit
- Electrician confirms a 3 phase supply that matches the unit's data plate.
- A route and a plan for moving 285 lbs into the work area.
- Hose route measured, and the hose arrangement confirmed with our parts team.
- The Helix VR manual downloaded from our manuals page and read before delivery.
- A spare-parts plan: Helix parts are individual listings, not diagram pages, so find the numbers you want on the Titan parts list or the sprayer parts category.
We do not suggest a generator size for the VR. Titan's published generator language is for the Helix FR, not the VR, so for the VR the right source is the Helix VR manual and the data plate. If you are planning a generator, call us on (713) 931-0006 and have the model and serial number ready.
