Description
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2312G13A020 is a 2-way zone valve assembly designed to control the flow of fluids water or glycol mixtures, in 1hydronic heating and cooling systems. This electrically operated valve features a normally closed design, meaning it remains shut when no power is supplied. When energized with 24V AC power, the valve opens, allowing fluid to pass through. Made of durable forged brass for longevity, the valve boasts a maximum pressure rating of 40 psi and can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°F to 160°F. Its 3/4-inch sweat connections simplify installation into existing piping systems. This zone valve is used in fan coil units, baseboards, and air handlers within HVAC systems. By controlling water flow to specific zones, the valve helps regulate temperature in different areas of a building, improving overall comfort and efficiency. For instance, the valve can shut off water flow to unoccupied zones, preventing unnecessary heating or cooling and reducing energy consumption. Additionally, the spring-return mechanism ensures the valve automatically closes in case of power loss, safeguarding your plumbing system from potential damage.
