Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3342G13B020 Valve Assembly

For high-demand hydronic control in commercial and residential systems, the Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3342G13B020 Valve Assembly provides unmatched field reliability. This 3-way zone valve features the patented PopTop actuator technology, allowing for one-handed removal and installation without the need for manual linkages or complex calibration. Designed with a 3/4-inch inverted flare connection, this 120V two-position zone valve is an essential retrofit zone valve solution for direct replacement in HVAC fan coil and baseboard applications. The 3.0 Cv high-flow capacity ensures minimal pressure drop across the system while maintaining spring return fail-safe operation. Built to endure rigorous duty cycles, the forged brass body and stainless steel stem components support 120Vac hydronic heating and cooling systems with a working pressure rated up to 400 psi. This Erie PopTop valve is specifically engineered for contractors who require a drop-in replacement that guarantees tight shut-off and consistent performance in demanding fluid control environments.

• Modular PopTop Actuator: Snap-on design permits actuator replacement without draining the system or breaking pipe connections.
• Fail-Safe Security: Reliable spring return mechanism ensures the valve returns to its original position during power interruptions.
• Inverted Flare Retrofit: Facilitates rapid installation in existing piping without the need for additional adapters or heavy brazing.
• Durable Construction: Forged brass body rated for temperatures up to 200°F (93°C), preventing leaks and premature wear in high-temperature loops.
• Optimized Flow: The 3.0 Cv rating provides precise control for both mixing and diverting applications in terminal unit HVAC zones.

Is the VT3342G13B020 actuator compatible with other Erie valve bodies?
Yes, the AG series actuators used in this assembly are compatible with all Erie PopTop series valve bodies, allowing for versatile field service and upgrades.

What is the proper orientation for this 3-way valve?
This valve is designed for specific flow directions; always ensure the paddle closes against the flow (typically from port A to B) to prevent water hammer and ensure zero leakage.

Can this valve be used in steam applications?
This specific model is designed for chilled and hot water systems. For low-pressure steam, verify that the internal paddle material and seals are rated for steam service before installation.
