Schneider Electric (Erie) VS3313 Valve Body

  • $124.00


When you need a reliable solution for low-pressure steam or high-temperature hydronic cycling, the Schneider Electric Erie VS3313 Valve Body is a standard-setting choice for commercial and residential zone control. This 3/4 inch 3-way zone valve features a robust forged brass construction and is specifically engineered to handle the rigorous demands of 15 psig saturated steam and hot or chilled water applications. With a 4.0 Cv flow coefficient, it ensures high-capacity throughput with minimal pressure drop, making it an ideal replacement zone valve body for fan coil units, baseboards, and air handlers. The sweat connection design allows for a permanent, leak-resistant installation that withstands a static pressure rating of 400 psi. Utilizing the proven Erie PopTop system, this two-position valve body allows for tool-free actuator removal, significantly reducing maintenance downtime in the field.

Key Benefits for Contractors
  • Steam-Rated Performance: Engineered for low pressure steam applications up to 15 psig and fluid temperatures up to 250°F (when paired with AH-series actuators).
  • Enhanced Flow Dynamics: The 4.0 Cv rating provides optimized fluid control for three-way mixing or diverting configurations.
  • Simplified Serviceability: The Erie PopTop series design allows the actuator to be swapped without draining the system or breaking pipe connections.
  • Industrial-Grade Materials: Features a nickel-plated stem and a highly saturated nitrile paddle to ensure long-term seat integrity and ANSI Class IV leakage protection.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with two-position spring return actuators for fail-safe operation in standard HVAC zones.
Common Questions & Technical Insights

Is the VS3313 compatible with glycol-based systems?
Yes, this valve body is fully compatible with media containing up to 50% ethylene glycol, making it suitable for chilled water and freeze-protection loops.

Can I use this valve for regular hydronic heating if I don't have steam?
While the VS-series is prioritized for steam zone valve applications due to its specialized internal seals, it functions exceptionally well in standard hot and chilled water systems, offering superior heat resistance over the VT-series.

Does this include the actuator?
No, the VS3313 is the 3-way sweat valve body only. You must pair it with a compatible Erie PopTop actuator (AG or AH series) based on your voltage and close-off requirements.
