Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2325 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric Erie VT2325 is a high-performance 3/4" NPT 2-way zone valve body engineered for precision fluid control in closed hydronic systems. Featuring a 5.0 Cv flow coefficient, this Erie PopTop valve body utilizes a specialized paddle design to ensure a low pressure drop while maintaining a class IV leakage rating. Built with a forged brass valve body, nickel-plated stem, and BUNA N seals, the VT2325 is designed to handle hot and chilled water applications with static pressures up to 400 psi. As a 2-position zone valve, it provides reliable on-off service for fan coils, baseboard radiation, and air handlers. The VT2325 valve body is fully compatible with the PopTop series actuators, allowing for tool-free actuator replacement without draining the system or breaking pipe connections. This makes it an essential HVAC replacement part for contractors looking to minimize labor time and ensure long-term reliability in commercial building automation systems.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Quick-Change Design: The PopTop actuator mounts directly to the brass valve body, allowing for one-handed installation and maintenance without specialized tools.
- High Flow Efficiency: A 5.0 Cv rating provides optimal flow characteristics and significantly reduces the risk of system noise or velocity issues.
- Durable Construction: The forged brass and nickel-plated internal components offer superior resistance to corrosion in treated hydraulic loops.
- Fail-Safe Integration: Designed for use with spring-return actuators to ensure the valve returns to its resting state during power loss.
- Can this valve be used in steam applications? No, the VT2325 is rated for hot and chilled water. For low-pressure steam up to 15 psi, the VS series valve bodies must be used.
- Which port is the inlet for 2-way models? Ensure the valve is installed so the internal paddle closes against the direction of flow to prevent water hammer and ensure a tight seal.
- Is the manual override lever included? The manual override is a feature of the normally closed actuator; the valve body itself is a mechanical housing that accepts these actuators.
