Description
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2313G13B020 is a 2-way sweat zone valve designed for use in hydronic heating and cooling systems. In simpler terms, it’s an electronically controlled valve that opens and closes to regulate water flow. Normally closed (NC), it means the valve remains shut when unpowered, only opening when a 120V AC signal is applied. This allows for precise control over heating and cooling zones within a building. Made of durable brass for long-lasting performance, the valve features a sweat connection for easy installation with copper pipes. It can handle pressures up to 25 psi and temperatures ranging from -40°F to 160°F, making it suitable for most HVAC applications. With a compact size and weighing around 1.9 pounds, it integrates seamlessly into various HVAC equipment including fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. The key benefit of the VT2313G13B020 is its ability to create zoned comfort. By controlling water flow to specific areas, you can 1heat or cool only the occupied spaces, reducing energy consumption and saving on utility bills. Additionally, the spring-return mechanism ensures the valve automatically closes when power is lost, preventing unintended water flow.
