Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2223 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric Erie VS2223 is a 1/2" NPT Two-Way Zone Valve Body engineered for precision control in low-pressure steam applications. Featuring a 3.5 Cv flow coefficient, this Two-Position Steam Valve utilizes a spring-return mechanism to ensure reliable shut-off and fluid management in various hydronic and HVAC systems. The forged brass construction provides the durability required for commercial HVAC maintenance, while the stainless steel stem and high-temperature Viton seals resist degradation in demanding thermal environments. This Schneider Electric zone valve is designed for seamless integration with Erie PopTop series actuators, allowing for quick field replacement without draining the system. Contractors rely on the VS2223 for its consistent performance in HVAC zone control and its ability to handle differential pressures common in multi-zone steam heating configurations. Its compact footprint ensures it fits within tight mechanical enclosures, making it a standard choice for 1/2 inch NPT steam valve replacements.
Key Benefits- Streamlined Installation: The 1/2" NPT female pipe thread connections allow for direct integration into existing North American piping systems.
- Steam-Rated Performance: Built specifically to handle low-pressure steam, preventing the premature seal failure common in standard water-only valves.
- PopTop Compatibility: Features the specialized mounting plate for rapid attachment of Erie actuators, reducing labor time during service calls.
- High Flow Capacity: The 3.5 Cv rating ensures efficient throughput with minimal pressure drop across the valve body.
Is the Erie VS2223 field-repairable?
The valve body is designed as a single unit; however, the actuator can be replaced independently. For internal seal failure, replacing the entire body is industry best practice to ensure system integrity.
Can this valve be used for hot water systems?
While optimized for steam, the materials used in the VS2223 are fully compatible with hot water and chilled water applications within its temperature and pressure ratings.
What is the maximum differential pressure for this model?
The VS2223 is rated for high-close-off pressures, though the specific limit depends on the torque rating of the attached Erie actuator.
