Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2212G13B020 Valve Assembly
The Schneider Electric Erie VT2212G13B020 is a heavy-duty 2-way normally closed zone valve engineered for precision control in hydronic systems. This 120V spring return valve features a 1/2" sweat connection and a 2.5 Cv flow coefficient, making it ideal for high-pressure baseboard and fan coil applications. The PopTop actuator design allows for quick removal, facilitating efficient maintenance and replacement without draining the entire system. Designed for two-position control, this low-pressure steam valve handles fluid temperatures up to 200°F and static pressures up to 300 psi. The Erie PopTop series is the industry standard for reliable HVAC zone control, utilizing a synchronous motor and spring return mechanism to ensure fail-safe operation during power outages. This assembly is specifically built to withstand the rigors of commercial and residential closed-loop heating and cooling systems, providing consistent hydronic valve performance and long-term zone valve synchronization for professional contractors.
Key Benefits
- Fast Installation: The signature PopTop one-handed removal mechanism streamlines actuator replacement and reduces labor time.
- High Reliability: Synchronous motor drive with a spring return ensures the valve reverts to the closed position during power loss.
- High Flow Capacity: A 2.5 Cv rating provides excellent flow characteristics for 1/2" piping configurations.
- Robust Sealing: High-temperature Viton seals prevent leakage and maintain integrity in demanding hydronic environments.
- Flexible Application: Rated for both hot water and low-pressure steam, offering versatility across various HVAC projects.
Common Questions
What is the maximum differential pressure for the VT2212G13B020?
This specific model is rated for a close-off pressure of approximately 25 psi, ensuring reliable shut-off in typical residential and light commercial loops.
Can the actuator be replaced without removing the valve body?
Yes, the PopTop design allows the 120V actuator to be swapped out without breaking the sweat connections or draining the system fluid.
Is this valve suitable for potable water systems?
No, this valve assembly is designed specifically for closed-loop hydronic heating and cooling systems and should not be used for domestic water applications.
