Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2313 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2313 Valve Body is a professional-grade two-way zone valve designed specifically for demanding low-pressure steam applications and high-temperature hydronic systems. Featuring a 3/4" sweat connection and a 3.5 Cv flow coefficient, this brass valve body is part of the legendary PopTop™ series, known by contractors for its reliable quick-release actuator mounting. This model is engineered to handle up to 15 psig steam, making it a staple for steam-based coils and heat exchangers in commercial HVAC environments. The forged brass construction and nickel-plated stem ensure durability under thermal stress, while the two-position control provides a crisp on/off response for precise fluid management. Designed for closed-loop systems, the VS2313 ensures an ANSI Class IV leakage rating, preventing ghost flows and optimizing energy efficiency in fan coil or baseboard heating setups.

• Steam-Rated Performance: Validated for low-pressure steam service up to 15 psi when paired with a compatible high-temp actuator.
• Ease of Service: The PopTop design allows for one-handed actuator removal, simplifying field maintenance without breaking the line.
• High Static Pressure: Built to withstand system static pressures up to 400 psi, ensuring robust performance in large buildings.
• Precise Flow Control: The 3.5 Cv rating is optimized for 3/4" piping to maintain proper pressure drop and minimize noise in residential and commercial zones.

Is this valve body compatible with standard PopTop actuators?
While it fits the standard PopTop footprint, because the VS2313 is a steam/high-temp body, you must use it with a high-temperature rated actuator (typically the 'S' or 'AH' series) to ensure the internal components and motor are protected from heat transfer.

Can I install this valve in any orientation?
Standard practice for the Erie PopTop VS2313 is to install it in horizontal or vertical piping. For horizontal runs, the actuator should be positioned above the valve body (tilted up to 85 degrees) to prevent moisture or debris from affecting the drive mechanism.

What is the maximum fluid temperature this body can handle?
When utilized with the correct high-temperature actuator, this brass zone valve body is rated for fluid temperatures ranging from 32°F up to 250°F.
