Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2343 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2343 Valve Body is a professional-grade component engineered for high-performance fluid management in hydronic heating and cooling systems. Built specifically for 3/4" Inverted Flare retrofit applications, this 2-way zone valve body features the industry-standard Erie PopTop design, which facilitates a tool-free connection with spring-return actuators. Designed to handle media up to 200°F and static pressures reaching 400 psi, this forged brass body ensures a reliable seal with a 3.5 Cv flow rating, maintaining an ANSI Class IV leakage rating of 0.01% for optimal energy efficiency.

For contractors performing maintenance or system upgrades, this two-position valve body provides a direct replacement path for existing hydronic equipment, including fan coils and baseboard units. The rugged construction utilizes a nickel-plated stem and a Buna N paddle to ensure compatibility with hot and chilled water as well as glycol solutions up to 50%. By isolating the actuator from the fluid flow, the VT2343 simplifies service, allowing for rebuilds or replacements without breaking into the piping system, provided the manual override is properly engaged during installation.

• Inverted Flare Retrofit: Specifically engineered for quick integration into existing 3/4" flare piping without requiring extensive repiping or soldering.
• High Close-Off Performance: Engineered for precision control with a 3.5 Cv flow coefficient and a 400 psi static pressure rating.
• Quick-Connect PopTop Design: Allows for immediate actuator removal and replacement with a one-handed push-button mechanism.
• System Agnostic Compatibility: Ideal for zoned HVAC applications using chilled water, hot water, or ethylene glycol systems.

Can the VT2343 handle low-pressure steam applications?
No, the VT series is designed for water and glycol. For 15 psig steam applications, the VS series valve body should be utilized.

Is the actuator included with this model?
This is the valve body only. It is compatible with AG and AH series Erie PopTop actuators, which must be ordered separately based on your voltage requirements.

What is the maximum glycol concentration allowed?
The Buna N paddle and seals are rated for use with up to a 50% ethylene glycol mixture.
