Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3313 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3313 Valve Body is a professional-grade component engineered for precision flow control in hydronic heating and cooling systems. Built as a 3/4" Sweat Three-Way configuration, this forged brass body is optimized for mixing or diverting applications with a 4.0 Cv flow coefficient. As part of the Erie PopTop series, it allows for seamless, one-handed actuator attachment, making it a reliable choice for zone control in fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. The two-position design provides high-performance on/off fluid regulation, supporting system static pressures up to 400 psi and media temperatures from 32° to 200°F. Its ANSI Class IV leakage rating ensures minimal bypass, maintaining tight close-off in high-demand residential and commercial environments. Compatible with water and glycol solutions (up to 50%), the Erie VT3313 provides the durability and hydraulic performance required for modern HVACR zoning projects.
Key Benefits
- Simplified Installation: Features the patented PopTop mounting system, allowing the actuator to be swapped or serviced without breaking the plumbing line.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for both mixing and diverting in 3-way zone valve setups for hot or chilled water systems.
- Rugged Construction: Forged brass body with a nickel-plated stem ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and wear in closed-loop systems.
- Performance Efficiency: Low leakage Buna N paddle design meets strict ANSI IV standards for optimal thermal efficiency and system balance.
Common Questions
- Is the actuator included with the VT3313? No, the VT3313 is the valve body only. It is compatible with Schneider Electric AG or AH series PopTop actuators.
- Can this valve be used for steam applications? This specific model is rated for water and glycol; VT series bodies are not for use with steam. For steam service, the VS series must be utilized.
- What is the maximum close-off pressure? When paired with a standard AG actuator, this 4.0 Cv body typically handles a close-off pressure of 25 psid.
