Schneider Electric (Erie) VM3327 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric Erie VM3327 is a heavy-duty, 3-way modulating zone valve body engineered for high-demand hydronic applications. This 3/4 inch NPT mixing valve features a forged brass construction and a 7.5 Cv flow coefficient, making it a reliable choice for controlling hot and chilled water or up to 50% glycol solutions in fan coil and baseboard systems. Designed as part of the industry-standard Erie PopTop series, the VM3327 utilizes a linear flow characteristic and is compatible with both tri-state (floating) and proportional actuators. With a 300 psig static pressure rating and a media temperature range of 32° to 200°F, this valve body ensures ANSI Class IV close-off performance. The low-leakage brass trim and chrome-plated stem provide the durability required for commercial and residential zoning environments where precision modulation is non-negotiable.
Key Benefits:
- High Flow Efficiency: The 7.5 Cv rating supports high-volume flow requirements while maintaining precise control.
- Universal PopTop Mounting: Allows for tool-free actuator installation and replacement, reducing labor time during service calls.
- Rugged Construction: Forged brass body and stainless steel components provide resistance to corrosion and high-pressure fatigue.
- Proven Compatibility: Fits standard 3/4" NPT pipe connections, serving as a direct replacement for many legacy zone valve configurations.
Common Questions:
- Is the VM3327 a mixing or diverting valve? This 3-way zone valve is designed specifically as a mixing valve body, typically installed at the return side of the coil.
- What actuators can I use with this body? It is compatible with Erie PopTop modulating actuators, including those with 0-10 VDC, 4-20 mA, or 24 VAC floating inputs.
- Can this be used in steam systems? No, the VM3327 is rated for water and glycol solutions only; for steam applications, refer to the VS series.
