Schneider Electric (Erie) AH14B020 Actuator

The Schneider Electric Erie AH14B020 Actuator is a professional-grade two-position spring return actuator designed for reliable control in demanding hydronic systems. This 120V HVAC zone valve actuator features a normally closed (NC) configuration, ensuring a fail-safe return to the closed position upon loss of power. Engineered for high temperature applications up to 250°F, the AH14B020 is ideal for low-pressure steam and hot water systems. The high close-off (HCO) capability provides superior shut-off performance, managing differential pressures up to 75 psi depending on the valve body. Utilizing the PopTop quick-release mechanism, this unit allows for tool-free replacement and installation. The synchronous motor design ensures long-term operational stability, while the 18-inch wire leads facilitate straightforward electrical termination in NEMA 1 enclosures. This replacement actuator for Erie VT/VS series valves is the industry standard for contractors requiring thermal efficiency and robust mechanical movement without complex linkages.

• High Close-Off Performance: Delivers increased force to ensure tight shut-off against high differential pressures in hydronic zone valves.
• PopTop Quick Release: Allows for one-handed removal and installation, significantly reducing maintenance downtime for technicians.
• Steam-Rated Durability: Specifically built with high-temperature components to withstand 15 psig steam and fluid temperatures up to 250°F.
• Fail-Safe Security: The spring return mechanism automatically seals the valve during power interruptions, protecting system integrity.
• Universal Compatibility: Serves as a direct-fit replacement for existing Schneider Electric AH series actuators in both two-way and three-way configurations.

Is the AH14B020 compatible with all Erie PopTop valve bodies?
This actuator is designed specifically for the AH/VT/VS series. It installs directly onto compatible valve bodies without requiring any additional linkages or calibration.

What is the difference between this and the AG series actuators?
While both use the PopTop mount, the AH14B020 is a high close-off and high temperature actuator, whereas the AG series is rated for general purpose applications and lower fluid temperatures.

Does this unit include an end switch?
No, the AH14B020 is a two-wire model without an auxiliary end switch. If your system requires a signal to start a pump or boiler, verify if your control circuit needs an end switch model.
