Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3223 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric Erie VT3223 is a professional-grade 1/2 inch NPT zone valve body engineered for high-performance fluid control in closed hydronic systems. As a critical component of the Erie PopTop series, this three-way mixing/diverting valve features a robust 4.0 Cv rating, making it ideal for managing flow in fan coil units, radiators, and baseboard heating applications. Built with a forged brass body and a nickel-plated stem, the VT3223 is designed to handle static pressures up to 300 psig and fluid temperatures ranging from 32°F to 200°F. The two-position control architecture ensures precise hydronic flow regulation while the spring return valve body design provides a reliable fail-safe position upon power loss. Contractors prefer the VT3223 3-way valve for its actuator compatibility, allowing for tool-free actuator replacement and simplified maintenance without breaking the pipe line. This HVAC zone valve is optimized for water or up to 50% glycol solutions, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding commercial and residential environments.

• High Flow Efficiency: The 4.0 Cv coefficient provides optimal flow characteristics for domestic and light commercial hydronic heating circuits.
• Serviceable Design: Part of the Erie PopTop line, the valve allows for the removable actuator to be swapped without draining the system.
• Durable Construction: Features a forged brass body and Buna-N paddle for superior sealing and resistance to wear in closed-loop systems.
• Versatile Application: Configurable for both mixing and diverting layouts, providing flexibility for various piping requirements.
• High Pressure Rating: Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi, ensuring stability under system surges.

Is the VT3223 compatible with steam applications?
No, the VT3223 is designed for hot and chilled water or glycol mixtures. For low-pressure steam applications up to 15 psi, the Erie VS series valve bodies should be used.

What type of actuator is required for this 3-way valve body?
This 3-way zone valve requires a normally closed actuator (such as the AG or AH series). Because it is a three-way configuration, it is always closed at the "B" port when de-energized.

Can this valve be installed in any orientation?
The valve can be mounted in horizontal or vertical piping. However, when installed horizontally, the actuator must be positioned above the valve body and never tilted more than 85 degrees from the vertical axis to avoid moisture damage.
