Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2315 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2315 Valve Body is a professional-grade component engineered for reliable performance in specialized hydronic and steam zone valve applications. Designed as a 3/4 inch sweat zone valve, this 2-way, normally closed body is constructed from forged brass to withstand the rigors of commercial and residential heating systems. With a 5.0 Cv flow capacity, it ensures optimal fluid dynamics and transition speeds in two-position systems. As part of the Erie PopTop series, this valve body allows for seamless, one-handed actuator attachment without the need for complex linkages or calibration, significantly reducing labor time on the job site. The high-temperature construction makes it a primary choice for HVAC zone control involving low-pressure steam (up to 15 psig) or hot and chilled water. Its terminal unit valve design is rated for a static pressure of 300 psi and features a quick-opening flow characteristic with an ANSI Class IV leakage rating, providing the tight shut-off required for energy-efficient operation.

• Steam Rated Performance: Specifically engineered to handle low-pressure steam applications up to 15 psig when paired with an AH-series high-temperature actuator.
• PopTop Technology: Facilitates rapid installation and maintenance by allowing the actuator to be removed or replaced in seconds without breaking the plumbing line.
• Durable Forged Brass: The heavy-duty Erie VS2315 body resists corrosion and is rated for static pressures up to 300 psi, ensuring longevity in closed-loop systems.
• Precision Flow Control: The 5.0 Cv rating provides the necessary flow for fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers while maintaining a dependable close-off pressure.

Is the VS2315 compatible with standard hot water actuators?
While the VS2315 utilizes the standard PopTop mounting system, it is specifically designated for steam or high-temperature service. For steam applications, it must be paired with an AH-series high-temperature actuator to ensure the internal components and the actuator motor handle the thermal load.

Can this valve body be installed in any orientation?
Technicians can mount the valve in horizontal or vertical piping. However, it is critical to install the body so the paddle closes against the direction of flow (Flow from B to A) and to ensure the actuator is never mounted below 85 degrees from the vertical axis to prevent moisture damage.

What is the maximum fluid temperature this body can handle?
When used with the appropriate high-temperature actuator, the assembly is rated for media temperatures up to 250°F (121°C), making it suitable for both high-temp hydronics and saturated steam environments.
