Schneider Electric (Erie) AG23T020 Actuator
The Schneider Electric Erie AG23T020 Actuator is a high-performance, 277Vac motorized replacement head designed for PopTop zone valve assemblies. Engineered for seamless integration into HVAC hydronic systems, this two-position actuator utilizes a synchronous motor to ensure reliable on/off control of hot or chilled water flow. The spring return normally open (NO) configuration provides a critical fail-safe, ensuring the valve remains open during power loss to prevent stagnant line conditions or freezing. This specific model features 18" wire leads for versatile wiring within fan coil units, baseboards, and air handlers.
As a standard-temp general close-off actuator, the AG23T020 is compatible with VT series valve bodies. Its press-and-lock direct mount mechanism allows for rapid field installation or replacement without the need for specialized tools, linkages, or complex calibration. With a power consumption of 7.5 VA and a quick spring return timing of approximately 9 seconds, this unit is built for efficient cycling applications in demanding commercial environments.
Key Benefits- Fail-Safe Operation: The spring return normally open design ensures system continuity during power interruptions.
- Efficient Installation: PopTop technology allows the actuator to be swapped without draining the system or removing the valve body.
- Technical Precision: Rated for 277Vac applications with a synchronous motor for consistent timing and long service life.
- Broad Compatibility: Standard 18" leads and direct mount design fit most Erie VT/VS series valve bodies.
- Does this model include an auxiliary end switch? No, the AG23T020 is the standard model without an internal end switch. If your application requires signaling a pump or boiler, verify if the "A" suffix model is needed.
- Can I use this for steam applications? This unit is rated for general temperature ranges (32° to 200°F). For high-pressure steam, ensure both the valve body and actuator are rated for 250°F.
- Does it have a manual override lever? Normally Open Erie actuators like the AG23T020 do not feature a manual lever, as the valve defaults to the open position when de-energized.
