Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2343G13A020 Valve Assembly

The Schneider Electric Erie VT2343G13A020 is a heavy-duty two-way normally closed zone valve engineered for precision control in hydronic systems. Designed for 24Vac applications, this spring return valve ensures reliable fail-safe operation during power loss. With a 3.5 Cv flow coefficient and a 3/4 inch inverted flare connection, this assembly is optimized for retrofit zone valve installations where space and compatibility are primary concerns. The Pop-Top actuator design allows for quick removal, simplifying maintenance and field service without breaking the plumbing line. This two-position valve provides a high-torque output to handle the differential pressure requirements typical of modern commercial and residential HVAC systems. Incorporating a low-wattage motor, the VT2343G13A020 minimizes electrical load while maintaining consistent performance in fan coil and baseboard heating applications. For contractors, the Pop-Top zone valve interface ensures a secure mechanical connection, reducing common leak points and installation time on the job site.

Key Performance Benefits

• High-Torque Spring Return: Ensures positive shut-off and prevents water hammer in normally closed configurations.
• Inverted Flare Retrofit: Specifically designed for seamless 3/4 inch pipe integration during system upgrades.
• Low Power Consumption: The 24Vac actuator operates efficiently within standard transformer load limits.
• Serviceability: The quick-release motor mechanism allows for component replacement without draining the entire system.
• Durable Flow Control: Rated at 3.5 Cv to maintain balanced flow rates across various zone demands.

Common Technical Questions

Can the VT2343G13A020 be installed in any orientation?
While the valve body is versatile, the actuator should be mounted above the horizontal plane of the pipe to prevent condensation from entering the motor housing.

Is this valve compatible with glycol-based systems?
Yes, the internal seals are designed to handle standard hydronic fluids, including water and ethylene glycol solutions up to 50% concentration.

What is the maximum differential pressure rating?
This Schneider Electric zone valve is engineered to close against high static pressures, typically rated up to 30 psi differential for the 3.5 Cv model.
