Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2212G13A020 Valve Assembly

The Schneider Electric Erie VT2212G13A020 is a heavy-duty two-way normally closed zone valve designed for reliable flow control in hydronic heating and cooling systems. Built around the industry-standard Erie PopTop platform, this assembly features a 1/2 inch sweat connection and is rated for a 2.5 Cv flow coefficient, making it ideal for fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. The unit utilizes a 24Vac spring return actuator (AG13A020) that ensures a fail-safe closed position upon loss of power, protecting the system from unintended thermal transfer.

For the service technician, the VT2212G13A020 offers a significant advantage with its tool-less actuator removal; the "PopTop" design allows the head to be swapped without breaking the forged brass valve body out of the line. The hysteresis synchronous motor is engineered for high-cycle longevity in closed-loop systems with up to 50% glycol. This two-position zone valve includes a manual override lever for system flushing and emergency operation, supporting a maximum static pressure of 400 psi and a close-off pressure of 30 psi. This low voltage HVAC valve is a direct replacement for legacy Erie or Schneider Electric zone control applications.

• PopTop Tool-less Actuator: Snap-on installation allows for actuator replacement without draining the system or using specialized tools.
• High Static Pressure Rating: The forged brass body is rated for 400 psi, ensuring durability in high-rise or large residential hydronic loops.
• Fail-Safe Spring Return: The normally closed mechanical design provides reliable spring return operation to prevent overheating during power failures.
• Manual Override Lever: Simplifies the commissioning process by allowing manual opening for system filling and air purging.
• Standard HVAC Compatibility: Operates on a standard 24V power supply with 18-inch wire leads for quick integration into existing control circuits.

Can the VT2212G13A020 be used in steam applications?
No, this specific model (VT series) is rated for hot and chilled water only. For low-pressure steam up to 15 psi, the VS series with a nitrile paddle is required.

What is the proper mounting orientation for this valve?
Install the valve in the return line to reduce thermal stress. The actuator must be positioned above or at a maximum 85-degree angle from the vertical to prevent moisture from entering the motor housing.

Does this valve include an end switch?
This specific model number (VT2212G13A020) does not include an auxiliary end switch. If your system requires a signal to start a circulator pump or burner, verify your wiring requirements prior to installation.
