Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3312G13A020 Valve Assembly

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3312G13A020 Valve Assembly is a contractor-grade 3-way zone valve engineered for precise hydronic flow control in fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. Featuring a 3/4" sweat connection and a 3.0 Cv flow coefficient, this PopTop series valve utilizes a 24Vac spring return actuator to ensure an immediate fail-safe to the normally closed position during power loss. The two-position design streamlines installation, allowing the actuator to be swapped or serviced without breaking into the piping system. Constructed with a forged brass body and Buna-N paddle, this normally closed zone valve handles fluid temperatures up to 200°F at 104°F ambient environments, maintaining a static pressure rating of 400 psi. Reliability is driven by a hysteresis synchronous motor, minimizing operational noise while maximizing cycles for consistent HVAC management. This Erie VT3312G13A020 assembly is an essential standard for technicians requiring a reliable, high-performance hydronic zone valve with a secure, leak-free soldered fit.

• Effortless Serviceability: The PopTop actuator can be removed with a single button press, requiring no tools for replacement or system drainage.
• Robust Fail-Safe Integrity: Dedicated spring return mechanism ensures the system defaults to its safe state during electrical interruptions.
• Durable Construction: Forged brass body with nickel-plated stem provides resistance against corrosion in closed-loop heating and cooling circuits.
• Versatile Mounting: The assembly supports flexible mounting positions up to 85 degrees from vertical to fit tight mechanical closets.

How do I install the VT3312G13A020 without damaging the internal components?
When soldering the 3/4" sweat body, always remove the actuator first and ensure the manual lever is locked in the open position to protect the Buna-N paddle from heat damage.

Is this valve suitable for steam applications?
No, this specific model is designed for hot and chilled water up to 50% glycol. For steam service, a high-temperature VS series valve body and compatible actuator must be selected.

Can the actuator be replaced with a different voltage model?
Yes, the PopTop series is modular. While this assembly includes a 24V AC actuator, the body is compatible with other Erie actuators in the series, provided the stroke and timing parameters align with your control signal.
