Controlling hot- or chilled-water flow to a single heating or cooling zone, this Erie 1/2" sweat valve body is a two-way PopTop zone valve body that pairs with an Erie PopTop actuator to open and close a zone on a call from the thermostat. Sized for 1/2" sweat (solder) connections with a 2.5 Cv flow rating and a 40 psi close-off, it handles residential and light-commercial hydronic zoning -- baseboard, radiant, fan-coil, and similar loops. The PopTop design lets the matching actuator snap on and off without draining the system or using tools, so a power head can be added or replaced in minutes. As the body only, it is the flow-control half of a zone valve; add the correct-voltage actuator to complete the valve.
Key Features:
- Two-Way Zone Body -- Controls flow to a single heating or cooling zone; pairs with a matching Erie actuator.
- 1/2" Sweat Connection -- Sweat (solder) ends for 1/2" hydronic lines.
- 2.5 Cv Flow -- Rated 2.5 Cv with a 40 psi close-off for reliable zone control.
- Tool-Free Actuator Swap -- The snap-on top lets the actuator mount and dismount without draining the system.
- Zone Valve Body -- The flow-control body; add a matching actuator to complete the valve.
Where to Use:
- Hydronic zoning -- Controlling flow to baseboard, radiant, and fan-coil heating zones.
- Boiler & chilled water -- Zone control on hot- and chilled-water systems.
- HVAC service -- Replacing or adding a zone valve body in a hydronic system.
