Schneider Electric (Erie) AG13A000 Actuator

The Schneider Electric Erie AG13A000 PopTop Actuator is a field-proven 24VAC two-position spring return actuator designed for reliable control of hydronic zone valves in residential and commercial HVAC systems. This normally closed unit features a synchronous motor drive that efficiently moves the valve to the desired position when energized and returns to the safety position upon loss of power via a heavy-duty stainless steel spring. Engineered for Direct-to-Body mounting, the AG13A000 utilizes the iconic PopTop button release mechanism, allowing for one-handed engagement or removal without the need for manual linkages or calibration tools. This design ensures that the zone valve actuator replacement process is streamlined for technicians working in tight baseboard or fan coil enclosures. With its standard 6" motor wires and rugged construction, this on/off rotary actuator is rated for fluid temperatures up to 200°F, making it a versatile choice for Schneider Electric Erie VT/VS series valve bodies.

• PopTop Quick Release: Integrated button allows for instant removal or attachment of the actuator to the valve body, reducing service time in confined spaces.
• Spring Return Safety: Fail-safe normally closed operation ensures the valve returns to its default position during power interruptions.
• Simplified Installation: Standard 24Vac power requirement and 6-inch motor leads facilitate rapid wiring to existing control boards or transformers.
• General Close-Off Performance: Rated for a maximum close-off pressure of 60 PSI (depending on CV), ensuring effective sealing in standard hydronic applications.
• Robust Enclosure: Features a NEMA 1 protection rating with a durable aluminum cover to withstand typical mechanical room environments.

• Is the AG13A000 compatible with older Erie Classic zone valves? No, current PopTop actuators are designed for the VT/VS series bodies and do not fit the legacy Erie Classic valve assemblies without an adapter or total valve replacement.
• Can this actuator be used in steam applications? This specific model is rated for fluid temperatures up to 200°F. For high-temperature or steam applications up to 15 psig, the Erie AH series actuators are typically required.
• How do I manually open the valve if the actuator loses power? This normally closed actuator includes a manual override lever on the side, allowing you to manually open the valve for filling or purging the system.
