Schneider Electric (Erie) VM2417P13A000 Valve Assembly

The Schneider Electric VM2417P13A000 Valve Assembly is a precision-engineered two-way normally closed modulating zone valve designed for high-performance hydronic systems. Featuring a 1-inch sweat connection and a robust 7.5 Cv flow coefficient, this PopTop series assembly is ideal for controlling the flow of hot or chilled water in commercial and residential HVAC applications. The integrated spring return modulating actuator provides reliable fail-safe operation, ensuring the valve returns to its closed position during power loss. This 24Vac proportional valve supports multiple control signals, including 0-10Vdc, 4-20mA, or 5-10Vdc, allowing for seamless integration with modern building automation systems. Engineered for durability, the Erie VM2417P13A000 utilizes a high-torque motor and advanced gear train to maintain precise fluid metering and system balance under varying pressure differentials.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Versatile Control Compatibility: Supports 0-10Vdc / 4-20mA modulating signals for precise temperature regulation.
• High Flow Capacity: The 7.5 Cv rating ensures minimal pressure drop across 1-inch lines.
• Fail-Safe Security: Mechanical spring return ensures the valve closes on power failure to prevent system overflows or overheating.
• Efficient Installation: Features the PopTop quick-release actuator for easy maintenance and head replacement without draining the system.
• Robust Media Handling: Designed for hydronic applications using water or glycol solutions up to 50% concentration.

Common Installation and Technical Questions

What is the maximum fluid temperature for this Erie VM series valve?
This assembly is typically rated for fluid temperatures ranging from 32°F to 200°F, making it suitable for both heating and cooling loops.

Can I field-adjust the control signal from 0-10Vdc to 4-20mA?
Yes, the actuator is designed to accept multiple proportional inputs. Ensure the 24Vac power supply is correctly phased and the 500-ohm resistor is utilized for 4-20mA loops where required.

How does the 1-inch sweat connection impact installation?
Copper-to-copper sweat connections provide a leak-proof permanent joint, though the actuator should be removed during the soldering process to prevent thermal damage to the internal electronics.
