Schneider Electric (Erie) AG13A020 Actuator

The Schneider Electric (Erie) AG13A020 Actuator is a professional-grade 24VAC electric actuator engineered for precise two-position control in hydronic systems. Designed for field technicians, this unit features a normally closed configuration with a reliable spring return fail-safe mechanism, ensuring system protection during power loss. As the direct replacement for JG13A020, it integrates seamlessly with Erie PopTop valve bodies, utilizing a quick-connect mounting system that allows for motor replacement without draining the system. This low voltage zone valve actuator is ideal for managing hot or chilled water, 50% glycol solutions, and low-pressure steam up to 15 psig. With 18" wire leads and a built-in auxiliary switch for end-of-travel signaling, it provides the robust performance required for high-demand commercial and residential HVAC zones.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Direct Compatibility: Engineered as the specific JG13A020 replacement for efficient service calls.
• PopTop Technology: Features a one-handed removal process, significantly reducing labor time on zone valve actuator replacement.
• Superior Fail-Safe: Mechanical spring return ensures the valve returns to the closed position immediately upon power interruption.
• Diverse Media Support: Rated for fluid temperatures from 32°F to 200°F, supporting both heating and cooling hydronic loops.
• Auxiliary Signaling: Includes an SPST end switch to interlock with pumps or boilers, optimizing system sequence of operations.

Common Questions

Is the AG13A020 compatible with all Erie valves?
This actuator is specifically designed for 2-way and 3-way Erie PopTop valve bodies. It is intended for General Close-off (AG) applications. For high-temperature steam applications requiring higher close-off, verify if the AH series is necessary based on your specific PSID requirements.

Can I replace the actuator without draining the system?
Yes, the AG13A020 utilizes the PopTop mounting system, which allows the actuator to be swapped out without breaking the piping or exposing the technician to system fluids.

What are the wiring requirements for this unit?
The unit operates on 24VAC at 7.5 VA and comes standard with 18" wire leads. It uses a two-wire control signal with a path for the auxiliary end switch to signal other HVAC components.
