Schneider Electric (Erie) AG13B060 Actuator
The Schneider Electric Erie AG13B060 Actuator is a professional-grade 120V normally closed actuator engineered for precise on/off control within hydronic heating and cooling systems. As part of the renowned Erie PopTop series, this spring return motorized valve actuator provides a fail-safe operation, ensuring the valve returns to its closed position upon loss of power. Designed for seamless integration, it mounts directly onto VT/VS series valve bodies without the need for complex linkages or manual calibration, significantly reducing installation time in the field. This model features 96-inch wire leads for extended reaching in complex wiring scenarios and utilizes a hysteresis synchronous motor to deliver consistent high-torque performance. Whether you are servicing fan coils, baseboards, or air handlers, this HVAC zone valve actuator offers a general close-off rating and built-in manual override lever for easy system flushing and emergency positioning. Built with a stainless steel base plate and an aluminum cover, it is rated for fluid temperatures up to 200°F.
Key Benefits- Universal PopTop Design: Allows for one-handed removal or engagement, facilitating quick motor replacement without breaking the hydronic seal.
- Fail-Safe Reliability: Robust spring return mechanism ensures positive shut-off during power interruptions to prevent overheating or flooding.
- Extended Lead Length: The 96-inch wire leads eliminate the need for additional junction boxes or splicing in tight mechanical spaces.
- Simplified Maintenance: Integrated manual override lever allows technicians to manually open the valve for system testing or maintenance.
- High Compatibility: Direct replacement for standard Schneider Electric AG13B060 configurations in 120VAC two-position control loops.
- What is the difference between the AG13B060 and the AG13A series? The AG13B060 operates on 120VAC, whereas the AG13A series is designed for 24VAC systems. It is critical to match the control voltage of your thermostat or BAS controller to the actuator.
- Does this actuator include an end switch? No, the AG13B060 is a two-wire model without an auxiliary end switch. If your system requires dry contacts to prove valve opening, you would need the "A" suffix version (e.g., AG13B02A).
- Can I use this for steam applications? This general close-off actuator is rated for fluid temperatures up to 200°F. For high-temperature steam applications (up to 15 psig), you should verify compatibility with the "S" rated PopTop valve bodies and high-temp actuator versions.
