Product Overview
Schneider AG13T020 Valve Actuator
The Schneider Electric Erie PopTop AG13T020 is a 277 VAC, two-position, normally closed spring-return actuator for compatible Erie PopTop zone valves. It is intended for on/off control of valve bodies serving closed hydronic heating and cooling applications and uses the Erie PopTop removable-actuator mounting design for replacement without removing a serviceable valve body from the piping.

FAQs:
Q: What is the Schneider Electric Erie AG13T020 actuator used for?
A: The AG13T020 is a 277 VAC actuator used to provide two-position on/off control of a compatible Erie PopTop zone valve. When energized, the actuator moves the valve to its powered position; when power is removed, its spring-return mechanism returns the valve to the normally closed position.
Q: Is the AG13T020 a complete valve or an actuator only?
A: The AG13T020 is an actuator only, not a complete valve assembly. Before ordering, confirm that the existing valve body is a compatible Erie PopTop model and that its close-off requirement calls for an AG general close-off actuator rather than an AH high close-off actuator.
Q: Will the AG13T020 fit my existing Erie PopTop zone valve?
A: The AG13T020 is designed for compatible Erie PopTop valve bodies, but fit should be confirmed from the existing actuator number, valve-body model, voltage, normal position, and required close-off rating. Do not assume that every Erie actuator or similar-looking PopTop model is interchangeable, because voltage, lead configuration, normal position, temperature class, and close-off type can differ.
Q: What are the voltage and control characteristics of the AG13T020?
A: The manufacturer’s PopTop instructions specify maximum full-stroke timing of 25 seconds at 60 Hz and maximum spring-return timing of 9 seconds.
Q: Does the AG13T020 replace the Schneider Electric AG13T060E1 actuator?
A: Schneider Electric identifies AG13T020 as the only functional equivalent for AG13T060E1, but the lead length changes from the former model’s 60-inch leads to 18-inch leads on the AG13T020. Verify that the shorter leads are suitable for the equipment before selecting it as the replacement.
