Valve Bodies and Actuators

Installation Instructions

Product Description

Erie™ PopTop™ Series valve bodies and actuators provide
easy installation for a variety of heating and cooling applica­tions. The valve’s actuator can be installed after the valve
body has been installed onto the fan coil, baseboard or air
handler. VS Series valves are available for low pressure
steam applications. PopTop Series are two position spring
return valves. When powered, the actuator moves to the
desired position, tensing the spring return system. When
power is removed the actuator retur ns to the normal posi­tion. PopTop Series two position spring return valves can be
purchased with an optional built-in auxiliary SPDT end switch
for interfacing or signaling; for example, zone pump burner
control. Actuators are designed fror cycling applications (not
constantly powered).
