Erie By Schneider Electric PopTop 2-Way Zone Valve Assembly

The Erie PopTop 2-Way Zone Valve Assembly from Schneider Electric is a motorized two-position zone valve for hydronic heating and cooling. It controls hot and chilled water flow in fan coils, baseboard heaters, air handlers and other terminal units. Each assembly pairs an Erie PopTop brass valve body with a spring-return actuator. You may also see it called a zone valve, motorized zone valve, or 2-way hydronic control valve.

Key Features:

• Two-way, normally closed operation with two-position (on/off) control
• Spring-return actuator closes the valve if power is lost, which gives fail-safe operation
• Pop-top actuator design mounts directly on the valve body with no linkages or calibration. The actuator can be installed after the valve body is piped in.
• Brass valve body with a nickel-plated brass stem and a paddle design that gives high flow capacity with low pressure drop
• Manual override lever on normally closed actuators
• NPT threaded connections
• Works with water and glycol-water mixes in hydronic systems
• Hysteresis synchronous motor for long service life

The actuator is built for cycling duty and should not be powered continuously. The valve can be mounted in horizontal or vertical piping. In horizontal piping, the actuator must sit above the valve body. The assembly can replace existing two-position PopTop zone valve applications, and it comes from the Erie line, which is trusted in the HVAC trade.
