Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2313 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2313 Valve Body is a professional-grade, two-way modulating zone valve engineered for precision flow control in hydronic systems. Featuring a 3/4" sweat connection and a 4.0 Cv rating, this valve body is designed for high-performance heating and cooling applications utilizing hot water, chilled water, or up to 60% glycol solutions. The rugged brass forged body is rated for a static pressure of 300 psig (up to 400 psi allowable in specific conditions) and meets ANSI Class IV leakage standards for reliable close-off performance. As part of the Erie PopTop series, it allows for easy, one-handed actuator engagement, streamlining field installation and maintenance. The equal percentage flow characteristic ensures stable temperature control across the modulating range. This VM2313 valve body is specifically rated for non-steam service and supports media temperatures from 32°F to 200°F. Field contractors appreciate the high-temperature thermoplastic paddle and nickel-plated brass stem for long-term durability in commercial and residential zone management.

• Equal percentage flow characteristic provides linear heat output and superior control stability in modulating systems.
• PopTop series design enables quick actuator attachment or removal with a single hand, reducing labor time in tight mechanical spaces.
• Forged brass construction and 300 psig rating ensure mechanical integrity in high-demand hydronic loops.
• ANSI Class IV close-off (0.01% of rated capacity) prevents ghost heating or cooling and improves overall system efficiency.
• High glycol compatibility (up to 60%) makes it suitable for various environmental and process fluid applications.

Is the VM2313 compatible with steam systems?
No, this specific valve body is rated for water and glycol solutions only. It should not be used in steam applications.

Which actuators can be used with this valve body?
The VM2313 is designed for use with Erie PopTop proportional (AP series) or tri-state/floating (AT series) actuators. It is not intended for on/off (AG/AH series) actuators which typically use different internal trim.

Can this valve be mounted in any orientation?
It can be installed in horizontal or vertical piping. However, when mounted horizontally, the actuator must be positioned above the valve body to prevent moisture from entering the motor housing.
