Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3325 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT3325 Valve Body is a rugged 3/4" NPT three-way mixing/diverting component engineered for demanding hydronic HVACR applications. Built with a forged brass body and 5.0 Cv flow coefficient, this two-position valve body provides high-capacity flow with minimal pressure drop, making it an ideal selection for fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. Designed for use with hot and chilled water or glycol solutions up to 50% concentration, the VT3325 maintains a static pressure rating of 400 psi and features an ANSI Class IV seat leakage rating for precise fluid isolation. This Erie PopTop zone valve facilitates seamless field service through its quick-connect interface, allowing for actuator replacement without breaking pipe connections or requiring specialized tools. The quicking-opening flow characteristic ensures responsive performance in on-off control sequences, while the nickel-plated brass stem and Buna N paddle offer exceptional durability in closed-loop systems.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Works as a direct replacement for existing Erie PopTop VT series 3-way valve bodies in standard 3/4-inch NPT piping.
- Reliable Sealing: Features a high-quality Buna N paddle and brass seat to achieve tight shut-off and prevent port leakage.
- High Pressure Capability: Rated for a maximum static pressure of 400 psi and fluid temperatures between 32°F and 200°F.
- Maintenance Efficiency: The pop-top design allows technicians to service or swap two-position actuators without draining the entire hydronic loop.
- Versatile Application: Supports both mixing and diverting configurations for flexible installation in residential or commercial heating and cooling zones.
Is the VT3325 compatible with steam systems?
No, this specific model is designed for water and glycol mixtures. For low-pressure steam applications up to 15 psi, the VS series valve bodies should be used instead.
What is the close-off pressure rating for this valve?
The close-off pressure varies depending on the specific actuator used, but generally ranges between 20 to 25 psid for the 5.0 Cv model with standard AG or AH series actuators.
Does this unit include the motorized actuator?
This item is the VT3325 valve body only. The spring return actuator (such as the AG or AH series) must be purchased separately to complete the assembly.
