Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2417 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2417 Valve Body is a robust, 1-inch 2-way zone valve engineered for high-performance fluid control in hydronic systems. Featuring a 7.5 Cv flow coefficient, this modulating valve body is constructed from forged brass, providing a static pressure rating of up to 300 psi. The sweat connection design ensures a secure, leak-free installation for fan coils, baseboard heaters, and air handlers. Professionals rely on the Erie PopTop series for its modular actuator housing, which allows for quick field replacement or upgrading without breaking the line. Compatible with water and up to 50% glycol mixtures, the VM2417 provides linear flow characteristics essential for precise temperature regulation in modulating zone valve applications. For contractors, the absence of linkages or complex calibration requirements means faster commissioning on the job site. This valve body is designed to meet or exceed ANSI Class IV close-off standards, ensuring minimal leakage and optimal system efficiency.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Enhanced Flow Control: The 7.5 Cv rating supports high-flow hydronic circuits while maintaining precise modulation.
- Durable Construction: Forged brass body rated for 300 psi static pressure ensures longevity in commercial and residential settings.
- PopTop Modular Design: Facilitates easy actuator removal and installation with a simple push-button mechanism, reducing downtime during maintenance.
- Industrial Standard Compliance: Meets ANSI IV standards for close-off, preventing ghost flows and improving thermal balancing.
- Fluid Versatility: Suitable for hot water, chilled water, and glycol-based heating and cooling loops (32°F to 200°F).
Is the VM2417 compatible with steam applications?
No, this specific valve body is designed for water and glycol solutions. For steam service, refer to the VS series PopTop valves.
Can the actuator be replaced without draining the system?
Yes, the PopTop design allows the motorized actuator to be removed or engaged with one hand without removing the valve body from the piping.
What type of actuators work with this valve body?
The VM2417 is compatible with Schneider Electric Erie modulating actuators, including tri-state (floating) and proportional (0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA) models.
