Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3313G13A020 Valve Assembly

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3313G13A020 Valve Assembly is a contractor-grade 3-way zone valve designed for demanding hydronic heating and cooling applications. Engineered with the signature PopTop removable actuator, this assembly allows for rapid head replacement without breaking the 3/4" sweat piping connections, significantly reducing field labor. This model features a 4.0 Cv flow coefficient, optimized for high-capacity flow with minimal pressure drop in fan coil and baseboard systems. Operating on 24Vac, the two-position actuator utilizes a reliable spring return mechanism to ensure a fail-safe position during power loss, providing critical protection for terminal unit loops.

Built for durability in closed-loop systems, the VT3313G13A020 utilizes a forged brass body rated for 400 psi static pressure and a nickel-plated stem to resist mineral buildup and corrosion. Its Erie zone valve architecture supports fluid temperatures from 32°F to 200°F, making it suitable for both chilled water and hot water service with up to 50% glycol concentrations. The normally closed configuration and two-position control signal integrate seamlessly with standard thermostats and building management systems. For technicians, the manual override lever provides a simple way to lock the valve open for system flushing or emergency operation during commissioning.

• High Flow Efficiency: The 4.0 Cv rating ensures optimal throughput for 3/4" zone valve applications, minimizing pump head requirements.
• Serviceability: The PopTop actuator design permits tool-free removal from the brass valve body, simplifying maintenance in tight mechanical closets.
• Industrial Construction: Features a forged brass body and a Buna N paddle for superior sealing and longevity in hydrologic cycles.
• Fail-Safe Security: The spring return function automatically resets the valve to the closed position upon 24Vac power interruption.

Can this valve be used for steam applications?
This specific model is designed for hot and chilled water; while some VT series valves handle low-pressure steam, always verify the specific paddle material and actuator temperature rating for steam service.

Does the actuator include an auxiliary end switch?
The baseline VT3313G13A020 is a standard general-purpose assembly; for applications requiring pump or boiler start signals, ensure you are utilizing the correct actuator lead configuration.

Can I install this valve in a vertical pipe run?
Yes, the Schneider Electric zone valve can be mounted in vertical or horizontal piping, provided the actuator is never positioned below the horizontal plane of the valve body to prevent moisture damage.
