Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2341G23A020 Valve Assembly
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2341G23A020 is a heavy-duty 2-way normally open zone valve designed for efficient hydronic control in commercial and residential systems. Built with the industry-standard Erie PopTop design, this 3/4" inverted flare assembly is specifically engineered for retrofit applications, allowing for seamless replacement of legacy equipment without extensive piping modifications. The 24Vac spring return actuator ensures a reliable fail-safe position, while the 1.0 Cv flow coefficient provides precise regulation for terminal unit applications like fan coils and baseboards.
Constructed with a forged brass body and nickel-plated stem, this two-position zone valve is rated for static pressures up to 300 psi and fluid temperatures up to 201°F. The tool-less actuator removal simplifies troubleshooting, as the motor and valve body can be serviced independently. With an 18-inch lead wire configuration and synchronous motor, this assembly maximizes longevity in high-cycle environments where performance and ease of installation are the primary priorities for the technician.
Key Benefits:
- Efficient Fitting: The inverted flare connection is optimized for rapid retrofit installations in existing hydronic loops.
- Fail-Safe Design: Integrated spring return mechanism ensures the normally open valve reverts to its home position during power loss.
- Simplified Service: Low-profile PopTop actuator allows for tool-free replacement without breaking the system seal.
- Durable Core: Forged brass construction and high-quality Buna N paddle handle up to 50% glycol concentrations and high static pressures.
- Precision Control: Rated at 1.0 Cv, ideal for applications requiring specific narrow-band flow rates for optimal heat transfer.
Common Questions:
How do I confirm compatibility for a retrofit?
This Schneider Electric (Erie) model is designed to replace most 3/4" inverted flare valves. Verify the 24Vac power requirement and the normally open fail-safe state before swapping with a different series.
Can the actuator be replaced without draining the system?
Yes, the Erie PopTop system allows the actuator to be removed by simply depressing the release button, meaning the valve body remains in the line and the system stays pressurized during motor service.
What is the maximum static pressure rating?
The forged brass body on this VT2341G23A020 assembly is rated for a maximum static pressure of 300 psi (2068 kPa).
