Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3317 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3317 Valve Body is a robust 3-way zone valve body engineered for demanding hydronic heating and cooling systems. Featuring a 3/4" sweat connection and an impressive 7.0 Cv flow coefficient, this Erie PopTop series component is the industry standard for two-position control in fan coil units, baseboard heaters, and air handlers. The forged brass body is rated for 400 psi static pressure, ensuring long-term reliability in high-cycle HVAC zone control applications. Designed for seamless integration, the paddle-style diverting valve provides low pressure drop and quick-opening flow characteristics. Contractors favor this replacement valve body because the actuator can be mounted or removed with a single button press, eliminating the need for complex linkages or system recalibration. Whether you are managing chilled water systems or hot water boilers, this brass trim valve provides professional-grade bypass or mixing capabilities without compromising system efficiency.

• High Flow Capacity: The 7.0 Cv rating ensures minimal pressure drop, even in systems with higher flow requirements.
• Durable Brass Construction: Rated for a 400 psi static pressure and temperatures ranging from 32° to 200°F (93°C).
• PopTop Compatibility: Specifically designed for AG and AH series actuators, allowing for tool-free actuator replacement without breaking the line.
• Reliable Media Handling: Suitable for use with water and glycol solutions (up to 50% concentration).
• Precision Control: Ideal for two-position mixing or diverting applications in commercial and residential hydronic circuits.

Is the actuator included with the VT3317?
No, the VT3317 is the 3-way valve body only. You will need to pair it with a compatible Schneider Electric Erie PopTop actuator (such as the AG or AH series) based on your voltage and end-switch requirements.

Can this valve be used for steam applications?
The standard VT3317 is designed for hot and chilled water. While some VT series models handle low-pressure steam up to 15 psi, always verify your specific actuator and application parameters before installation in steam lines.

What is the proper flow direction for this 3-way valve?
In diverting applications, the fluid enters Port AB and is directed to either Port A or Port B. In mixing applications, Ports A and B serve as the inlets, and Port AB is the common outlet. Proper orientation is critical for prevent water hammer and ensuring the spring return fail-safe operates correctly.
