Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2213 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric Erie VS2213 is a 1/2 inch sweat zone valve body engineered for high-performance service in two-way hydronic and steam applications. This 2-way normally closed valve features a 3.5 Cv flow coefficient, making it a reliable solution for regulating flow in high-demand HVAC systems. Designed for low-pressure steam and hot or chilled water, the VS2213 utilizes a bronze body construction and an EPDM paddle to ensure a robust seal and long-term bubble-tight shut-off. The sweat connection allows for a secure, leak-proof installation in tight mechanical spaces. As a two-position steam valve body, it is fully compatible with PopTop series actuators, facilitating quick actuator replacement without draining the system. This zone valve assembly is built to handle static pressures up to 300 psi and fluid temperatures up to 280°F, providing the durability required for commercial and industrial HVAC zone control.

Key Benefits for the Contractor:

• Field-Serviceable Design: The PopTop spring return actuator (sold separately) snaps directly onto the VS2213 valve body, reducing labor time during installation and maintenance.
• High Flow Efficiency: A 3.5 Cv rating ensures optimal zone valve flow capacity for efficient thermal distribution in radiant and baseboard heating.
• Steam Rated: Specifically designed to withstand low-pressure steam environments, preventing premature valve seat failure.
• Internal Durability: Features a high-temperature EPDM plug and stainless steel operating stem to resist scale buildup and corrosion.

Common Questions:

What is the maximum temperature rating for the Erie VS2213?
The VS2213 is rated for fluid temperatures up to 280°F, making it suitable for both hot water and low-pressure steam systems.

Do I need to drain the system to replace the actuator on this valve?
No, the Schneider Electric PopTop design allows you to replace the actuator without breaking the pipe line or draining the hydronic loop.

Can the VS2213 be installed in any orientation?
While the valve body can be mounted in various positions, it is recommended to install the actuator above the horizontal plane of the pipe to prevent condensate or moisture from entering the motor housing.
