Johnson Controls JG13A020 Actuator

The Johnson Controls JG13A020 Actuator is a robust 24VAC spring return actuator engineered for precise on/off control in hydronic zone systems. As a veteran-grade component within the J Series Electric Zone Valves lineup, this synchronous motor-driven unit provides a reliable normally closed fail-safe position, ensuring the valve port returns to the closed state upon power loss. High-volume installations across commercial and residential sectors rely on this specific zone valve actuator for its bubble-tight shutoff capabilities and ease of field replacement.

Designed for professional contractors, the JG13A020 features a "PopTop" style connection for rapid removal and mounting without disturbing the piping. It is specifically compatible with Johnson Controls JT Series valves and Erie VT series bodies, handling media temperatures from 32?F to 200?F. The 18-inch wire leads and compact two-position design make it an ideal service replacement for maintaining HVAC zoning efficiency in fan coil and baseboard radiator applications.

Key Benefits

• Fail-Safe Reliability: Mechanical spring return ensures a normally closed safety state during power interruptions.
• Efficient Field Service: Quick-release actuator design allows for swap-outs in seconds, reducing labor time on the job site.
• Universal Compatibility: Direct fit for the J Series Electric Zone Valves family, specifically targeted for JT Series valve bodies.
• Energy Conservation: Provides bubble-tight shutoff to prevent thermal leakage and optimize system Delta T.
• Contractor-Ready Leads: Includes 18-inch wire leads for flexible wiring within tight terminal enclosures.

Common Questions

Is the JG13A020 compatible with JS Series valves?
No, the JG13A020 is specifically designed for JT Series (standard temperature) valves. For high-temperature JS Series valves, a JG14 style actuator is typically required.

Can I convert this to Normally Open in the field?
While the JG13A020 is a normally closed actuator, the J Series allows for field conversion of the valve action by rotating the actuator or valve body configuration, depending on the specific three-way or two-way application.

What is the power draw for this unit?
This 24Vac actuator has a nominal power consumption of 7 VA, making it compatible with standard 24V HVAC control transformers.
