Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2223G13A02A Valve Assembly

The Schneider Electric Erie VT2223G13A02A is a commercial-grade two-way normally closed zone valve engineered for precise hydronic control in HVAC systems. Designed with a 1/2 inch NPT connection and a 3.5 Cv flow coefficient, this assembly features a 24Vac spring return actuator that ensures fail-safe operation during power loss. This model serves as the direct replacement for 13N16-101, providing a seamless drop-in solution for aging infrastructure. The integrated end switch allows for auxiliary signaling to controllers or pumps, optimizing system sequencing. Built for two-position control in closed-loop hydronic applications, the PopTop style actuator facilitates rapid head replacement without draining the system, significantly reducing labor hours on-site. The high-temperature EPDM paddle and nickel-plated brass construction provide reliable shut-off and resistance to scale build-up in demanding hydronic heating and cooling environments.

Key Benefits

• PopTop Actuator Design: Enables one-handed removal and replacement of the actuator head, simplifying field maintenance.
• High Close-Off Pressure: Provides positive shut-off against high system pressures commonly found in multi-story commercial buildings.
• Direct Replacement Compatibility: Specifically engineered to replace the legacy Erie 13N16-101 without piping modifications.
• Integral End Switch: Standard SPST switch included for interlocking with circulator pumps or fan motor relays.
• Spring Return Fail-Safe: Mechanical spring ensures the valve returns to the normally closed position upon loss of 24V power.

Common Questions

Can I replace the actuator without removing the valve body?
Yes, the PopTop design allows the actuator to be swapped by simply pressing the release button and lifting, eliminating the need to break any pipe seals or drain the loop.

Is this valve suitable for potable water applications?
No, this brass zone valve is designed specifically for closed-loop hydronic systems containing treated heating or cooling water.

What does the end switch provide in a zone control setup?
The end switch provides a dry contact closure once the valve reaches the fully open position, typically used to trigger a boiler start or a zone pump.
