Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2312G13A02A Valve Assembly

The Schneider Electric Erie VT2312G13A02A is a commercial-grade two-way normally closed zone valve assembly designed for high-performance hydronic heating and cooling systems. Built with the Erie PopTop series' signature tool-less mounting system, this 24Vac spring return valve allows for rapid actuator installation or replacement without draining the system or using specialized tools. The assembly features a 3/4 inch sweat connection and a 2.5 Cv flow coefficient, ensuring efficient fluid regulation in fan coils, baseboards, and AHUs.

This hydronic zone valve utilizes a hysteresis synchronous motor for extended service life and reliable two-position control. Integrated with a built-in SPDT end switch, the VT2312G13A02A provides clean signaling for auxiliary equipment like burner controls or zone pumps. The forged brass body is rated for up to 400 psi static pressure, while the Buna-N paddle ensures a bubble-tight, zero-leakage close-off against port B. Forged for durability, the nickel-plated stem and stainless steel components prevent corrosion in closed-loop systems using water or up to 50% glycol concentrations.

• One-handed removal: The "PopTop" design enables the AG13A02A actuator to click onto the VT2312 valve body in seconds.
• Fail-safe operation: Mechanical spring return ensures the valve returns to the normally closed position upon loss of 24V power.
• High static pressure rating: Body assembly is rated for 400 psi (2758 kPa), suitable for multi-story commercial applications.
• Manual override lever: Allows for manual opening during system filling or maintenance (NC models only).
• Interfacing capabilities: Included auxiliary end switch simplifies wiring for complex HVAC sequences and boiler startups.

What is the maximum fluid temperature for this Erie zone valve?
The VT2312G13A02A is rated for fluid temperatures ranging from 32°F to 200°F. Note that this specific general-purpose actuator is not rated for steam; for low-pressure steam applications, refer to the VS series.

Can the actuator be replaced without removing the valve body?
Yes, the Erie PopTop system is specifically engineered for modularity. You can swap the 24V actuator by simply pressing the release button and lifting, leaving the brass valve body in the piping line.

Does this valve support flow in both directions?
For two-way sweat valves, the standard flow direction is from Port B to Port A to ensure proper seating of the paddle and prevent water hammer.
