Relief Valve Knob for Helix FR and VR Sprayers

The Titan part 138498 Relief Valve Knob is a manual control component designed for the pressure relief valve on Helix FR and Helix VR sprayers. This knob provides the operator with a secure grip to open the relief valve, safely releasing system pressure before maintenance, cleaning, or when the sprayer is not in use.

A missing or damaged relief valve knob can make it difficult or impossible to properly relieve system pressure, creating a serious safety hazard. Replacing with this genuine component ensures that pressure can be safely and easily released when needed, protecting both the operator and the equipment.

⚠️ Safety Warning: Always relieve system pressure before servicing, cleaning, or storing the sprayer. Never attempt to operate the relief valve without a properly functioning knob. A damaged or missing knob should be replaced immediately to maintain safe operating procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

The relief valve knob provides the manual interface for opening the pressure relief valve, which releases trapped pressure in the fluid system. Proper pressure relief is essential before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or when the sprayer is not in use. A missing or damaged knob can prevent effective pressure relief, creating a risk of accidental fluid injection or component failure during service.

Signs that your relief valve knob needs replacement include: visible cracks or breaks in the knob material, the knob missing entirely, a worn grip surface that makes the knob difficult to turn, or a loose fit where the knob no longer attaches securely to the valve stem. Any of these conditions compromise your ability to safely operate the relief valve.

Yes, the 138498 relief valve knob is designed to fit both Helix FR and Helix VR models. While these series have different recovery systems, they share common relief valve designs and stem configurations, allowing the same knob to be used across both platforms.

Installation typically involves: 1) Ensuring the valve stem is clean and undamaged, 2) Aligning the knob with the valve stem, 3) Pressing or threading the knob onto the stem (depending on design), 4) Securing any set screws if present, and 5) Testing operation to ensure the knob turns smoothly and operates the valve. The knob should fit snugly without excessive play.
