Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2327T13A00T Valve Assembly

This Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2327T13A00T is a professional-grade two-way normally closed zone valve assembly, engineered for precise hydronic flow control in commercial and residential fan coil, VAV reheat, and baseboard applications. Built with the industry-standard PopTop actuator, this unit allows for one-handed removal and engagement, significantly reducing labor time during field service or installation. The 3/4" NPT forged brass body is rated for up to 300 PSIG static pressure, ensuring long-term reliability in closed-loop systems. Rated at a 7.5 Cv, it provides high-capacity flow while maintaining low pressure drop across the valve seat.

The integrated 24Vac actuator utilizes a three-wire floating signal and features a spring return with time-out logic. This internal time-out functionality protects the motor and geat train by removing power after three minutes of continuous signal, maximizing component life. The spring return mechanism ensures the valve defaults to the closed position during power interruptions, preventing unwanted heating or cooling. Designed for water and glycol-water solutions (not steam rated), this modulating zone valve is a drop-in solution for contractors seeking a 3/4-inch HVAC zone valve that balances high-performance flow with reliable fail-safe operation.

Key Benefits:

• PopTop Actuator Design: Enables rapid, tool-free actuator removal for simplified maintenance and installation.
• High Flow Capacity: The 7.5 Cv rating and linear flow characteristics support demanding terminal unit requirements.
• System Protection: Internal spring return ensures the valve closes on power loss to prevent system over-temperature or freezing.
• Motor Longevity: Built-in time-out feature prevents motor burnout by de-energizing the actuator after its full stroke.
• Professional Build: Forged brass body and high-temperature thermoplastic paddle designed for reliable service in 32°F to 200°F fluid temperatures.

Common Questions:

What is the purpose of the 'time-out' feature on this valve?
The time-out logic is essential for controllers that do not automatically cut the signal trailing a full stroke. It prevents the motor from remaining energized against the travel stops, extending the life of the gear train.

Can this Schneider Electric VM2327T13A00T be used in steam applications?
No, this specific assembly is designed for closed-loop hydronic systems using water or glycol (up to 60%) and is not rated for steam use.

Is a special tool required to mount the actuator to the 3/4" NPT body?
No, the PopTop series is designed for one-handed, snap-on assembly. The actuator can be installed after the valve body is piped into the system without needing linkages or calibration.
