Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3213G13B020 Valve Assembly

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3213G13B020 Valve Assembly is a contractor-grade solution for precise hydronic flow control in fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. Utilizing the industry-standard Erie PopTop Series design, this 3-way zone valve simplifies maintenance with its tool-free actuator mounting, allowing for body installation before the electrical components are attached. Engineered with a hysteresis synchronous motor and a fail-safe spring return mechanism, the unit defaults to a normally closed position upon power loss, preventing unregulated flow in high-performance HVAC systems. With a 4.0 Cv flow coefficient and 1/2" sweat connections, it provides reliable two-position (on/off) regulation for medium-flow applications. The 120V AC actuator includes 18" leads and a manual override lever, ensuring accessibility during system commissioning or power outages without compromising the 400 PSI static pressure integrity of the forged brass body.

• Modular PopTop Design: Allows for independent installation and replacement of the actuator without breaking into the piping system.
• Fail-Safe 120V Operation: The spring return function ensures the valve returns to its normal state during power failures.
• High static Pressure Rating: Rated for up to 400 PSI static pressure, making it suitable for demanding residential and light commercial hydronic loops.
• Mixing and Diverting Versatility: The 3-way configuration facilitates both diverting and mixing fluid paths for multi-zone control.
• Integrated Manual Override: Simplifies troubleshooting by allowing manual positioning of the valve stem.

Is this valve suitable for steam applications?
No, the VT3213G13B020 is specifically designed for chilled and hot water systems or glycol solutions up to 50%. It is not rated for use with steam.

Does this assembly include an end switch?
This specific model (AG13B020 actuator) does not feature an auxiliary end switch. If your system requires signaling for a circulator pump or burner, verify the control requirements of your specific project.

Can the actuator be replaced without draining the system?
Yes, the PopTop mounting system allows you to remove the 120V actuator by simply pressing the release button, leaving the valve body and liquid circuit intact.
