Ridgid 65202 Unloader Valve

Product Description

The RIDGID 65202 is a complete unloader valve assembly designed to regulate pressure in compressor-driven systems. The unloader valve releases trapped air or fluid pressure from the compressor head and discharge line when the unit cycles off, allowing the motor to restart under a reduced load. This part is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors working on pressure-generating equipment. It is a direct service replacement intended to restore proper unload function when the original valve fails or degrades over time.

The 65202 is suited for use in compressor systems where reliable pressure relief between cycles is required. Proper unloader valve function protects the motor from high-load starts and extends equipment service life. This valve is intended for installation in trade and light commercial service environments where RIDGID-compatible pressure equipment is in use.
