Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3222G13B020 Valve Assembly
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3222G13B020 Valve Assembly is a rigorous solution for hydronic HVAC system control, engineered for high-demand two-position (on/off) applications. This three-way zone valve features a 1/2" NPT threaded connection and a robust flow coefficient of 3.0 Cv, making it ideal for managing fluid flow in fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. Built with the PopTop actuator design, this assembly allows for fluid actuator replacement without tools or line drainage, significantly reducing downtime for field technicians. The 120Vac synchronous motor ensures reliable cycling, while the spring return fail-safe ensures the valve returns to its normal rest position upon power loss.
The forged brass body is rated for up to 300 psi static pressure, providing the durability required for commercial and residential heating projects. Designed specifically for closed-loop systems, the VT3222G13B020 manages hot or chilled water and glycol solutions up to 50% concentration. This motorized zone valve is high-temperature rated, ensuring long-term seat integrity and precise zone control under consistent cycling conditions. Integrating Erie zone valve technology provides a direct replacement for legacy two-position applications with a focus on ease of installation and HVAC system efficiency.
Key Benefits- PopTop Actuator Design: Enables one-handed removal and quick engagement without specialized tools.
- Spring Return Fail-Safe: Automatically transitions to the default position during electrical interruptions.
- Forged Brass Construction: High-strength 300 PSI rated valve body for maximum service life.
- Integrated 120V Control: Standard 120Vac operation facilitates seamless integration into existing control logic.
- High Flow Capacity: A 3.0 Cv rating provides optimized flow for small to mid-sized terminal units.
Can the actuator be replaced without removing the valve from the piping?
Yes, the Erie PopTop system is specifically designed for tool-less actuator removal, allowing for maintenance without breaking the plumbing seal.
Is this valve suitable for steam applications?
The VT3222G13B020 is primarily designed for hot and chilled water and glycol mixtures; always verify specific high-temperature ratings if considering low-pressure steam use.
In what orientation should the valve be installed?
The VT Series zone valve can be mounted in horizontal or vertical piping, though it is professional practice to install it in the return line to minimize thermal stress on the actuator.
