Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2517 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric Erie VM2517 is a heavy-duty, 1-1/4 inch sweat connection two-way zone valve body engineered for high-demand hydronic systems. This 8.0 Cv modulating valve body is a staple for contractors managing fan coil units, VAV reheat, and radiant heating applications where precision is non-negotiable. Built with a robust forged brass body and brass trim, the unit is designed for closed-loop systems carrying hot or chilled water, as well as glycol concentrations up to 50%. It features the industry-standard Poptop® actuator mounting, allowing for fast, tool-free installation or replacement of the power head. With a 300 psi static pressure rating and linear flow characteristics, this Erie VM series component ensures stable performance and reliable close-off in both commercial and residential HVACR environments. The rotary stem movement and ANSI Class IV leakage rating ensure that your system maintains tight control over fluid dynamics without the common bleed-through issues seen in lower-grade alternatives.

• High-Capacity 8.0 Cv: Optimized for 1-1/4 inch lines, providing high-flow performance with linear control characteristics.
• Durable Forged Brass Construction: High-quality brass body and nickel-plated stem resist corrosion and wear in glycol-treated systems.
• Poptop® Design: The quick-release button allows for rapid actuator swaps without breaking into the wet side of the system, reducing downtime.
• System Versatility: Compatible with hot water and chilled water applications ranging from 32° to 200°F (0° to 93°C).
• Modulating Precision: Engineered specifically for modulating service to provide fine-tuned temperature control rather than simple on/off operation.

Is this valve body compatible with any Poptop actuator?
The VM2517 is designed for use with Schneider Electric Erie modulating Poptop actuators (AT or AP series). It is not intended for use with two-position (VT series) actuators if modulating performance is required.

Can I use the VM2517 in a steam system?
No, this specific model is not steam-rated. It is intended for water and glycol-based hydronic systems. For steam applications, please consult the VS series equivalent.

What is the proper flow direction for this two-way valve?
For standard two-way operation, the flow should be directed from Port B to Port A to ensure the paddle closes against the direction of flow, preventing water hammer and ensuring tight shut-off.
