Description
FAAC Unclamping Knob & Cap – 729014
Genuine FAAC replacement unclamping knob and cap for compatible FAAC sliding gate operators.
The unclamping knob forms part of the operator’s manual release mechanism, allowing the drive to be disengaged so the sliding gate can be moved manually when required.
Ideal for replacing an original release knob or protective cap that has become damaged, broken, worn or lost.
FAAC Part Number: 729014
🔓 Manual Release Mechanism
The unclamping knob is used as part of the manual release system fitted to compatible FAAC sliding gate operators.
When the operator is correctly unlocked, the release mechanism disengages the drive so the gate can be moved manually.
This is particularly useful during:
- Mains power failures
- Operator faults
- Maintenance
- Servicing
- Emergency access
- Gate troubleshooting
🔑 Key-Operated Release System
The 729014 knob works together with the FAAC manual release lock and release key.
The release system prevents the operator from simply being disengaged without access to the correct key.
Once unlocked, the knob can be operated to disengage the gate operator’s drive mechanism.
🛡️ Protective Cap
The replacement assembly includes the cap used to protect the manual release area.
This helps maintain the original external finish of the operator while protecting the release mechanism from normal environmental exposure.
🔧 Genuine FAAC Replacement Part
Part number 729014 is the genuine replacement unclamping knob and cap used on compatible FAAC sliding gate operators.
Replacement may be required where the existing:
- Release knob is broken
- Knob has cracked
- Knob no longer operates correctly
- Protective cap is damaged
- Protective cap is missing
- Manual release assembly is being refurbished
🚧 FAAC 740 & 741 Compatibility
FAAC specifically identifies the 729014 unclamping knob for the:
- FAAC 740
- FAAC 740 C
- FAAC 741
- FAAC 741 C
These operators use the knob as part of the keyed manual release mechanism.
🏭 FAAC C850 Compatibility
FAAC also identifies the same 729014 unclamping knob within the C850 industrial sliding gate operator assembly.
This means the part is also suitable for compatible:
- FAAC C850
The surrounding release components can differ between operator models, so only the components specifically included with the 729014 should be expected.
🔄 Restore Manual Gate Operation
A functioning manual release is an important part of an automatic sliding gate system.
If mains power is unavailable and no suitable battery backup is fitted, disengaging the operator allows the gate to be moved manually.
A damaged release knob can make this difficult or prevent the release mechanism from being operated correctly.
Replacing the damaged component restores the original method of manually disengaging the compatible operator.

⚠️ Please Note
This listing is for the FAAC 729014 unclamping knob and cap.
The release key, lock and other internal release components are separate unless specifically stated as included.
Before replacing the knob, inspect the complete release mechanism. If the knob has broken because the release mechanism has become seized or excessively difficult to operate, the underlying fault should be rectified rather than simply fitting a new knob.
After manually releasing the operator, take care when moving the gate. A large sliding gate can move unexpectedly, particularly on sloping installations.
Always re-engage the operator correctly before returning the automatic gate to normal powered operation.
