Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2221 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2221 Valve Body is a professional-grade solution for precise on/off flow control in closed hydronic systems. This 1/2" NPT zone valve is engineered as a two-way normally closed component, featuring a 1.0 Cv flow coefficient and a rugged forged brass build. Designed for seamless integration with Erie PopTop actuators, the VT2221 utilizes a "pop-top" quick-release mechanism that allows for tool-free actuator removal, significantly reducing labor time during installation or field service. This two-position valve body is rated for a maximum static pressure of 300 psig and is compatible with hot water, chilled water, and glycol solutions (up to 50%). The high-flow paddle design ensures a low pressure drop and maintains an ANSI Class IV leakage rating. For contractors managing fan coil units or baseboard applications, this valve provides the necessary reliability for demanding HVACR environments.

• Tool-Free Actuator Mounting: The Erie PopTop valve design allows for one-handed removal and replacement of the actuator without needing to drain the system.
• Durable Construction: Features a forged brass body, nickel-plated stem, and BUNA N paddle for long-term performance in varied water conditions.
• System Flexibility: Rated for temperatures ranging from 32°F to 200°F, supporting both heating and cooling cycles.
• High Static Pressure Rating: Built to withstand up to 300 psig, ensuring stability in residential and light commercial hydronic loops.

What is the maximum close-off pressure for this valve?
When paired with an AG series actuator, the 1.0 Cv model provides a close-off pressure of up to 60 psid. Using an AH (High Close-Off) actuator can increase this threshold to 75 psid.

Can the VT2221 be used for steam applications?
No, the VT series is intended for water and glycol. For low-pressure steam up to 15 psig, you should specify the VS series valve body paired with a high-temperature actuator.

Is this valve body compatible with other actuator brands?
The VT2221 is specifically designed for the Schneider Electric Erie PopTop series. To ensure proper fit and timing, always Pair it with genuine AG or AH actuators.
