Schneider Electric (Erie) AG23B020 Actuator

Upgrade or service your zone control systems with the Schneider Electric (Erie) AG23B020 Actuator, a professional-grade solution for hydronic heating and cooling systems. This 120V PopTop actuator features a two-position, normally open configuration, ensuring a reliable spring return fail-safe mode during power loss. Engineered for high-traffic mechanical rooms, the AG23B020 is the direct replacement for JG23B020, making it a critical stock item for field technicians servicing fan coil units, baseboard heaters, and air handlers. Its hysteresis synchronous motor is built for longevity in cycling applications, while the 18-inch wire leads offer ample length for clean, secure electrical termination. The PopTop series design allows for one-handed installation and removal from the valve body without tools or system drainage, significantly reducing labor time on the job site.

• Effortless Compatibility: Serves as a direct replacement for the JG23B020 and fits seamlessly onto VT/VS series valve bodies.
• Rugged Performance: Designed for fluid temperatures ranging from 32°F to 200°F and ambient conditions up to 104°F.
• Fail-Safe Logic: Integrated spring return mechanism ensures the valve defaults to the normally open position if power is interrupted.
• Field Efficient: The Schneider Electric AG23B020 mounting system eliminates the need for complex linkages or calibration.
• Versatile Application: Optimized for on/off control in HVAC zone systems using hot water, chilled water, or low-pressure steam up to 15 psig.

Common Questions:

Is the AG23B020 compatible with my older JG series valve?
Yes, the AG23B020 is the manufacturer-designated direct replacement for JG23B020. It retains the same physical footprint and electrical requirements, allowing for a "drop-in" swap without repiping or rewiring the entire circuit.

Can I replace this actuator without draining the system?
Absolutely. The Erie PopTop design isolates the mechanical actuator from the wet side of the valve. You can depress the release button and pop the old unit off without risking leaks or requiring a system shutdown.

What is the difference between this and the 24V model?
The Schneider Electric AG23B020 operates on 120Vac. It is critical to verify your control voltage before installation; installing this on a 24V circuit will result in failure to operate, while the reverse can damage the transformer or the actuator motor.
