Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3212G13A020 Valve Assembly

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3212G13A020 Valve Assembly is a rigorous industrial-grade solution designed for precise fluid control in hydronic systems. This 1/2" sweat 3-way zone valve features the legendary PopTop actuator design, allowing for tool-free installation and removal, which is critical for minimizing downtime during field maintenance. Operating on a 24Vac signal, this two-position zone valve utilizes a spring return mechanism to ensure a fail-safe normally closed position (A-port closed, B-port open) upon power loss. With a 3.0 Cv flow coefficient and a high-static pressure rating of 400 psi, it provides reliable on/off control for chilled water, hot water, and solutions with up to 50% glycol. The forged brass body and nickel-plated stem are engineered for longevity in demanding HVAC environments, supporting fluid temperatures up to 200°F. This assembly includes the VT3212 valve body and the AG13A020 actuator, making it a complete, drop-in replacement for fan coil and baseboard applications.

• Quick-connect Actuator: The PopTop interface enables the motor to be swapped in seconds without draining the system or using specialized tools.
• Robust Construction: A forged brass valve body and a spring return fail-safe ensure long-term durability in closed-loop hydronic circuits.
• High Close-Off Pressure: Rated for a 40 psi close-off, preventing leakage and ensuring tight shut-off in high-head pump applications.
• Manual Override: Features a manual operating lever to allow for system flushing or emergency operation during power outages.
• Reliable Motor: Uses a synchronous hysteresis motor designed for high-cycle applications without overheating.

Is this valve compatible with steam systems?
No, the VT series is strictly for water and glycol applications. For low-pressure steam up to 15 psi, the VS series components must be utilized.

Can the actuator be mounted in any orientation?
The valve is versatile but should be installed with the actuator above the 1/2 inch sweat body in horizontal runs. It can be tilted up to 85 degrees from vertical, provided it is not positioned where water can drip into the housing.

Does this model include an auxiliary end switch?
This specific configuration (AG13A020 actuator) is a standard general-purpose two-position unit and does not include an internal SPDT end switch for auxiliary signaling.
