The Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2213 Valve Body is a professional-grade solution for modulating water flow in closed hydronic systems. This 1/2 inch sweat zone valve is engineered for high-performance applications including fan coil units, VAV reheat, unit ventilators, and radiant heating setups. With a 4.0 Cv rating, this two-way valve body utilizes an equal percentage flow characteristic to provide precise control over hot or chilled water media. Built from rugged forged brass with a chrome-plated stem and a high-temperature thermoplastic plug, the VM2213 is designed to withstand static pressures up to 300 psig and fluid temperatures ranging from 32°F to 200°F. The signature Erie PopTop design allows for one-handed actuator removal, simplifying field installation and maintenance for contractors. This modulating valve body ensures a tight seal with a leakage rating of ANSI Class IV, making it a reliable component for fine-tuned HVACR hydronic balancing.

Key Benefits for Technicians
  • Precise Flow Control: Featuring a 4.0 Cv flow coefficient with equal percentage characteristics for stable temperature regulation in modulating loops.
  • Efficient Installation: The PopTop quick-release mechanism enables the actuator to be snapped on after the 1/2" sweat connection is soldered, preventing heat damage to sensitive components.
  • Durable Construction: Forged brass body and a nickel-plated stem ensure longevity in demanding hydronic heating and cooling environments.
  • High Close-off Reliability: Engineered to handle significant differential pressures, maintaining system integrity even in high-head applications.
  • Versatile Media Compatibility: Suitable for use with water and up to 50% ethylene glycol solutions.
Common Questions & Technical Insights
  • Is the VM2213 rated for steam applications? No, this specific model is designed for hot and chilled water systems and is not rated for steam use.
  • What actuators are compatible with this valve body? This body is designed to pair with Schneider Electric AP (proportional) or AT (tri-state/floating) series actuators.
  • Can this valve be installed in any orientation? It can be mounted in horizontal or vertical piping, but the actuator should never be positioned below the valve body to prevent moisture damage from potential pipe condensation.
