Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2427 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2427 Valve Body is a rugged 1-inch NPT 2-way zone valve engineered for precision fluid control in closed hydronic heating and cooling systems. This forged brass valve body is a critical component for fan coil units, VAV reheat, and baseboard applications, featuring a linear flow characteristic with a robust 8.0 Cv rating to manage high-volume hot water or chilled water demand. Built to handle up to 300 psi static pressure, the VM2427 utilizes the PopTop actuator system, allowing for rapid, one-handed installation or removal without the need for manual linkages or complex calibration.

Designed for field reliability, this modulating valve body is compatible with tri-state (floating) or proportional (0-10 Vdc / 4-20 mA) actuators, ensuring precise temperature control and energy efficiency in commercial HVACR systems. The VM2427 features nickel-plated brass stems and high-temperature thermoplastic plugs, meeting ANSI Class IV (0.01%) leakage standards. This two-way zone valve is an Essential solution for contractors requiring NPT threaded connections and a high flow capacity for terminal unit control and radiant heating projects.

• PopTop Quick Release: Allows the actuator to snap onto or off the VM2427 body after piping is complete, simplifying service.
• High Flow Capacity: The 8.0 Cv rating ensures minimal pressure drop in high-demand 1-inch hydronic lines.
• Rugged Construction: Forged brass and chrome-plated stems provide long-term durability in glycol-treated or water-based systems up to 200°F.
• Zero-Calibration Setup: Eliminates the need for manual stroke adjustments when paired with Erie VM Series actuators.
• Tight Close-Off: Meets ANSI Class IV specifications to prevent fluid migration and phantom heating or cooling.

Is the VM2427 compatible with steam applications?
No, the VM2427 is specifically designed for hot and chilled water or up to 50% glycol solutions. For steam, the VS series is required.

Which actuators fit this valve body?
The VM2427 is designed for Erie PopTop modulating actuators, including AT (tri-state/floating) and AP (proportional) models.

Can I install this valve in any orientation?
While it can be mounted in vertical or horizontal piping, the actuator should be positioned above the valve (tilted no more than 85° from vertical) to prevent moisture damage from condensation.
