Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2327 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2327 Valve Body is a professional-grade two-way zone valve engineered specifically for low-pressure steam applications up to 15 PSI. This PopTop series valve features a 3/4" NPT threaded connection and a high-capacity 7.5 Cv flow coefficient, making it a reliable solution for fan coil units, baseboard heating, and air handlers. Built with a forged brass valve body, a nickel-plated stem, and a highly saturated nitrile paddle, the VS2327 is designed to withstand fluid temperatures ranging from 32°F to 250°F when paired with a compatible high-temperature actuator.

For contractors, the Erie VS2327 offers field-proven reliability with its two-position, on/off control logic. The quick-opening flow characteristic ensures responsive system performance, while the ANSI Class IV seat leakage rating (0.01%) guarantees tight shut-off to prevent energy loss. Its spring return capability, determined by the choice of actuator, provides a critical fail-safe position during power loss. This 3/4 inch steam valve is rated for a static pressure of 300 PSI and is fully compatible with standard 25% to 50% glycol solutions, providing versatile integration into hydronic systems.

Key Benefits

• High Flow Capacity: The 7.5 Cv rating ensures minimal pressure drop across the 3/4" NPT valve in high-demand steam or water loops.
• Rugged Construction: Specifically designed for low-pressure steam service with a durable brass seat and nickel-plated stem for long-term corrosion resistance.
• Simplified Service: Features the PopTop quick-release mechanism, allowing for actuator replacement without tools or breaking the plumbing line.
• Versatile Media Compatibility: Ideal for hot water, chilled water, and steam systems, supporting fluid temperatures up to 250°F.

Common Questions

Can I use this valve for water-based HVAC systems?
Yes, while optimized for steam, the VS2327 is equally effective for hot and chilled water applications with up to 50% glycol concentration.

Which actuators are compatible with this valve body?
The VS2327 is designed for Erie PopTop actuators. For steam applications, you must use a high-temperature rated actuator to ensure the internal components are protected from thermal stress.

Does this valve require a specific mounting orientation?
It can be installed in horizontal or vertical piping. When mounted horizontally, ensure the actuator is positioned above the valve body to prevent moisture accumulation.
