Schneider Electric (Erie) AG24A020 Actuator
The Schneider Electric (Erie) AG24A020 Actuator is a field-proven 24VAC motorized valve actuator engineered for high-demand hydronic systems. This PopTop series actuator features a normally open (N.O.) configuration and a reliable spring return mechanism, ensuring a fail-safe position during power loss. Specifically designed for high-temperature applications, this unit handles media temperatures up to 250°F at 15 psi steam, making it an essential component for low-pressure steam and radiant heating systems where standard actuators fail. The hysteresis synchronous motor offers consistent two-position (on/off) control with a power consumption of just 7.5 VA.
Installation is streamlined for technicians via the one-handed PopTop release button, allowing the AG24A020 to snap directly onto the valve body without tools, linkages, or complex calibration. Equipped with 18-inch wire leads, this actuator integrates seamlessly into existing low-voltage control circuits. Its stainless steel base plate and aluminum cover provide the structural integrity required for HVACR commercial environments, maintaining operational stability in ambient temperatures up to 169°F. This is a direct replacement for Erie zone valve actuators used in baseboard, fan coil, and air handler setups.
Key Benefits for Contractors- High-Temperature Resilience: Rated for fluid temperatures up to 250°F and 15 psi steam, preventing premature failure in extreme heating cycles.
- Fail-Safe Operation: The spring return functionality ensures the valve defaults to the open position upon power interruption.
- Tool-Free Maintenance: The PopTop mounting system allows for actuator replacement without draining the system or breaking pipe connections.
- Reliable Motor Performance: Features a synchronous motor designed for long-cycle life in demanding HVAC zone control applications.
- Enhanced Compatibility: Standard 24VAC 2-position operation fits a wide range of Schneider Electric and Erie valve bodies.
Can the AG24A020 be used for steam applications?
Yes, this high-temperature actuator is rated for low-pressure steam up to 15 psi, provided the ambient temperature does not exceed its rated limits.
Does this unit have an internal end switch?
The AG24A020 is a standard two-wire actuator and does not typically include an auxiliary end switch. For applications requiring end-of-travel feedback, verify the specific sub-model requirements.
Is this a direct replacement for older Erie actuators?
The PopTop series is designed to be backwards compatible with many existing Erie two-position valve bodies. Always check the mounting plate and voltage requirements for an exact match.
