Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2325 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2325 Valve Body is a robust, 3/4" NPT two-position steam zone valve engineered specifically for low-pressure steam service in modern HVACR systems. Built with a heavy-duty brass body and a nickel-plated stem, this 2-way zone valve body is optimized for controlling 15 psig steam applications typically found in fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. With a high flow coefficient of 5.0 Cv, it provides a low pressure drop and high efficiency for fluid flow management.

A central feature of the Erie PopTop VS2325 is its compatibility with quick-connect actuators, allowing for one-handed installation without the need for tools once the body is piped in. For reliable performance in high-heat environments, this valve body must be paired with an AH Series high-temperature actuator. The 300 psig pressure rating and ANSI Class IV leakage standards ensure tight shut-off and long-term durability in demanding commercial or residential hydronic and steam environments.

Key Benefits:

• Optimized Steam Rating: Specifically designed to handle up to 15 psig of low-pressure steam, exceeding the capabilities of standard water-only zone valves.
• PopTop Ease of Service: The removable actuator design permits service or replacement without draining the system or breaking pipe connections.
• High Flow Efficiency: A 5.0 Cv rating ensures minimal flow restriction in 3/4-inch piping for superior zone temperature control.
• Industrial-Grade Construction: Features a brass valve body and BUNA N paddle to withstand high thermal cycling and media temperatures up to 250°F (when used with AH actuators).
• Versatile Application: Standard 3/4-inch FNPT threaded connections ensure compatibility with existing boiler and steam distribution headers.

Common Questions:

Can I use a standard AG series actuator with this valve?
While the mechanical connection is the same, steam service generates significant heat transfer through the stem. You should exclusively use Schneider Electric AH series high-temperature actuators with the VS2325 for steam applications to prevent premature component failure.

What is the maximum pressure this valve body can handle?
The valve body itself is rated for a maximum static pressure of 300 psig, though it is optimized for 15 psig steam service in typical HVACR heating loops.

Is this valve normally open or normally closed?
The action (N.O. or N.C.) is determined by the specific PopTop actuator you install on the body. The VS2325 body itself is compatible with both spring-return actuator types.
