Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2223 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2223 Valve Body is a professional-grade solution for precise fluid regulation in hydronic HVAC systems. This 1/2 inch NPT modulating valve features a two-way configuration and a 4.0 Cv flow coefficient, making it ideal for standard zone control applications involving hot or chilled water, as well as glycol solutions up to 60%. Engineered for the demands of a high-performance mechanical room, the VM2223 utilizes a forged brass body rated for 300 psig static pressure and ANSI Class IV leakage standards, ensuring minimal bypass when closed. As part of the Erie PopTop series, this valve body allows for one-handed actuator attachment or removal without the need for complex linkages or calibration. Designed specifically for low-pressure steam and hydronic installations, the VM2223 zone valve supports reliable modulating control when paired with compatible tri-state or proportional actuators. Its compact footprint facilitates installation in tight fan coil units or baseboard cabinets where space is at a premium.

• High Flow Capacity: The 4.0 Cv rating provides consistent volume control for effective heat transfer in residential and commercial zones.
• PopTop Compatibility: Designed for an Erie PopTop actuator, enabling rapid swap-outs and maintenance without breaking the pipe seal.
• Rugged Construction: Features a forged brass body and stainless steel/brass trim for resistance to corrosion in closed-loop systems.
• Precise Close-off: Meets ANSI Class IV standards, ensuring reliable shut-off and preventing ghost heating or cooling in inactive zones.
• Versatile Media Handling: Suitable for water and glycol-based systems with fluid temperatures ranging from 32° to 200°F.

Is the VM2223 compatible with steam applications?
No, this specific valve body is rated for hot and chilled water or glycol mixtures. For steam service, please verify current manufacturer technical data for a rated alternative.

Which actuators can be used with this valve body?
The VM2223 is designed for the Erie VM series PopTop actuators, supporting both modulating (proportional) and tri-state control signals.

Does this valve require special tools for actuator installation?
No, the PopTop design uses a spring-loaded locking mechanism that allows the actuator to be pressed into place or removed with one hand.
