Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2327 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric VM2327 is a high-performance Erie PopTop valve body engineered for modulating hydronic flow control in commercial and residential HVAC systems. This 3/4" NPT zone valve features a robust forged brass construction with a 7.5 Cv flow coefficient, making it a reliable choice for high-flow applications such as fan coil units and baseboard heating. Designed for seamless integration, the two-way configuration supports proportional control to ensure precise temperature regulation and system efficiency. The VM2327 is compatible with modulating actuators in the Erie PopTop series, allowing for easy, one-handed removal or replacement without disconnecting the valve from the piping. Rated for static pressures up to 300 PSIG and compatible with water or glycol solutions (up to 50%), this modulating zone valve body meets ANSI Class IV leakage standards for superior close-off performance. Contractors rely on the Schneider Electric VM2327 for its durable brass trim and nickel-plated stem, ensuring long-term operational stability in demanding thermal environments.
Key Benefits- Enhanced Flow Capacity: A 7.5 Cv rating provides efficient fluid transfer for larger zone requirements compared to standard 1.0 or 3.5 Cv models.
- Superior Close-off: Engineered to meet ANSI Class IV leakage specifications, preventing heat bleed-through when the valve is in the closed position.
- Streamlined Installation: The threaded NPT connection and PopTop design allow for rapid assembly and serviceability in tight mechanical spaces.
- High Pressure Rating: Forged brass body supports up to 300 PSIG static pressure, suitable for multi-story hydronic loops.
- Media Versatility: Fully compatible with water and glycol-based heating/cooling systems at temperatures up to 200°F.
Is the VM2327 compatible with steam systems?
No, the VM2327 series is designed for water and glycol solutions only. For low-pressure steam applications, the VS series is the appropriate technical selection.
Can the actuator be replaced without draining the system?
Yes, the Erie PopTop design allows the motorized actuator to be removed from the VM2327 valve body by simply pressing a release button, meaning the plumbing remains intact during service.
What is the flow characteristic of this modulating valve?
The VM2327 provides an equal percentage flow characteristic when used with its compatible modulating actuator, ensuring stable control across the entire stroke.
