Now from Elesa (UK) - the ubiquitous valve knob with updated patented fast fit snap fixing variant, which allows the knob to be pushed on and is retained by a stainless steel spring clip, which locates in a groove machined in the shaft.

This means that the customer does not have to drill and tap the end of the square shaft.

It also eliminates the time taken fitting the retention screw.

The knob simply pushes on but requires a screwdriver for removal.

Elesa's stylish 5 lobe design in black technopolymer also has standard square drive fitment involving use of a nut or screw to secure the knob, so cover caps in black, red, blue, orange, grey or yellow provide a nice aesthetic touch.

VCRT square drive knobs have a blended radius 5 lobe design with well-proportioned rim height to assure a natural safe and comfortable grip.

Manual operation of valve actuator mechanisms e.g for hydraulic equipment, is made easier by the VCRT lobe knob which is available in sizes from 40mm to 63mm diameter.
