Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3315 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3315 is a professional-grade 3-way zone valve body engineered for high-performance hydronic temperature control. Featuring a 3/4 inch sweat connection and a robust flow capacity of 5.0 Cv, this valve body is designed for mixing or diverting applications in fan coils, baseboards, and radiant heating systems. The VT3315 belongs to the industry-standard PopTop Series, allowing for terminal unit maintenance without draining the entire system. Its forged brass construction is rated for static pressures up to 400 psi and handles fluid temperatures ranging from 32° to 200°F. Compatible with a variety of two-position spring return actuators, it ensures a tight close-off meeting ANSI Class IV standards. This Schneider Electric zone valve facilitates seamless field replacement, as the actuator can be snapped into place via the one-handed removal mechanism after the body has been soldered into the piping.

Key Benefits

• High flow 5.0 Cv rating ensures minimal pressure drop across 3/4 sweat furnace valve installations.
• Forged brass construction offers superior durability and 400 psi static pressure handling for hydronic heating systems.
• The VT3315 3-way valve design allows for both mixing and diverting configurations in commercial or residential zones.
• Manual override capability (when paired with compatible NC actuators) simplifies system balancing and emergency operation.
• ANSI Class IV seat leakage rating provides high-integrity shut-off to prevent ghost flow in inactive zones.

Common Questions

Can the actuator be replaced without removing the VT3315 valve body?
Yes, as part of the PopTop series, the actuator can be removed or replaced with a single hand without breaking the pipe connections or draining the system.

Is the VT3315 suitable for steam applications?
The VT3315 is primarily rated for hot and chilled water or glycol solutions up to 50%. For low-pressure steam applications, verify that both the actuator and specialized valve models (like the VS series) are utilized.

What is the maximum glycol concentration allowed?
This valve body is compatible with water and glycol mixtures ranging from 25% to 50% concentration.
