Description
The Schneider Electric (Erie) AH13A020 is a reliable, two-position valve actuator engineered for precise on/off control in commercial and residential HVAC hydronic systems. Designed to operate on a 24VAC power supply, this actuator features spring return technology that automatically drives the valve to the normally closed (NC) fail-safe position upon loss of power — protecting your system against unintended flow during outages or control failures.
Key Features
- 24VAC operating voltage for compatibility with standard HVAC control systems
- Two-position (on/off) control for straightforward zone valve operation
- Spring return mechanism provides automatic fail-safe, normally closed positioning on power loss
- High close-off force rating ensures a tight, leak-free seal under demanding system pressures
- 18″ pre-attached wire leads for easy field wiring and installation flexibility
- Compact, durable actuator housing suitable for tight mechanical spaces
Applications
- Hydronic heating and cooling zone control
- Fan coil unit valve control
- Commercial and residential HVAC zoning systems
- Building automation and energy management applications
Why Choose the Erie AH13A020?
The Erie line of actuators from Schneider Electric has a long-standing reputation for dependability in the HVAC industry. The AH13A020’s spring return, normally closed design means your system defaults to a safe, closed state whenever power is interrupted — a critical feature for protecting equipment and maintaining system integrity. The high close-off rating adds confidence that the valve will hold tight even in higher-pressure hydronic systems, while the 18″ wire leads simplify installation by reducing the need for additional field wiring.
