Schneider Electric (Erie) AG14B060 Actuator

The Schneider Electric Erie AG14B060 Actuator is a veteran-standard 120Vac two-position motor designed for demanding hydronic and steam applications. This PopTop series actuator features a normally closed (NC) configuration with a spring return fail-safe, ensuring the valve closes upon power loss to prevent system overheating or unintended flow. Engineered specifically for high temperature environments, it handles fluid temperatures up to 250°F and is suitable for 15 psi steam service. The AG14B060 utilizes a hysteresis synchronous motor to drive the valve open in approximately 25 seconds, while the mechanical spring provides a rapid 9-second return. Designed for contractors, this unit mounts directly to Erie PopTop zone valves without the need for complex linkages or calibration. The addition of 96-inch wire leads provides the necessary length for flexible wiring in fan coil units, baseboards, and air handlers, while the manual override lever allows for bypass during system commissioning or emergency maintenance.

• High Temperature Resilience: Rated for conditions up to 250°F (fluid) at 169°F ambient, making it ideal for low-pressure steam and high-temp hydronic loops.
• Field-Proven Reliability: The Erie AG14B060 spring return actuator uses a synchronous motor drive to maximize service life and operational consistency.
• Rapid Installation: The signature PopTop design allows for tool-free actuator replacement without breaking the plumbing line or draining the system.
• Extended Wiring: Equipped with 96" wire leads to eliminate the need for additional junction boxes in tight mechanical spaces.
• Integrated Fail-Safe: Reliable normally closed spring return ensures positive close-off during power interruptions.

Is the AG14B060 compatible with all Erie PopTop valve bodies?
Yes, this actuator serves as a direct replacement for all existing two-position PopTop applications. It is designed to snap directly onto the valve body, regardless of whether it is a VT or VS series body, though high-temperature models like this are preferred for steam.

What is the purpose of the manual override lever?
On normally closed actuators like the AG14B060, the lever allows technicians to manually open the valve for system filling, venting, or emergency flow without requiring 120V power.

Can this actuator be used in steam applications?
Correct. This high-temperature variant is specifically rated for 15 psi steam. However, always ensure the valve body it is paired with is also rated for the specific steam pressure of your system.
