Schneider Electric (Erie) VS3213G14A020 Valve Assembly

When you are in the field dealing with high-stakes hydronic or steam systems, the Schneider Electric Erie VS3213G14A020 3-way zone valve is the standard for reliability. This 1/2 inch sweat connection valve is purpose-built for high-temperature demands, featuring a normally closed (NC) configuration and a 4.0 Cv flow coefficient that handles both mixing and diverting service with precision. The assembly combines a forged brass VS3213 valve body with the legendary high-temp AG14A020 PopTop actuator, ensuring a tool-less, "quick-click" installation that veterans appreciate when working in tight mechanical rooms.

Rated for low-pressure steam up to 15 PSI and fluid temperatures up to 200°F, this unit utilizes a 24VAC synchronous motor for efficient two-position (on/off) control. The spring return feature provides a critical fail-safe, moving the saturated nitrile paddle to its original position during a power loss to prevent overheating or system imbalance. With a 300 PSI static pressure rating and 25 PSI close-off capability, this assembly ensures minimal seat leakage and long-term durability in commercial and residential fan coils or baseboard loops.

• Steam Service Ready: Specifically engineered with a high-temperature actuator and body seals to withstand low-pressure steam up to 15 PSI.
• Tool-less Actuator Swap: The PopTop design allows you to replace the AG14A020 actuator in seconds via a single release button without breaking into the piping.
• Fail-Safe Protection: Reliable spring return mechanism ensures the valve closes on power failure, protecting the downstream system from unregulated heat.
• Robust Construction: Forged brass body with nickel-plated stem and nitrile paddle resists mineral buildup and corrosion in glycol or steam environments.
• Manual Override: Includes a manual lever for system filling and troubleshooting, which automatically disengages when power is restored.

• Can I use this for both hot water and steam? Yes, the VS3213G14A020 is rated for hot water, chilled water (up to 50% glycol), and low-pressure steam applications.
• What is the maximum close-off pressure? This assembly is rated at 25 PSI close-off with high-torque performance from the 24V motor.
• How do I handle the sweat connection during install? Always remove the actuator before soldering the 1/2" copper lines to prevent heat damage to the electronics and seals.
