Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2317 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2317 Valve Body is a rugged, two-position steam valve body designed for high-performance fluid control in HVAC zone valve applications. Engineered with a 3/4" sweat connection, this 2-way zone valve body features a high 7.5 Cv flow coefficient, making it ideal for low-pressure steam up to 15 psig and high-temperature hydronic systems. As part of the Erie PopTop series, it utilizes a forged brass construction with a nickel-plated stem and a highly saturated nitrile paddle to ensure a bubble-tight close-off across a temperature range of 32° to 250°F. This replacement valve body facilitates rapid serviceability; the actuator can be snapped into place or removed with one hand without tools or system drainage. Built for compatibility with AH series high-temperature actuators, the VS2317 provides reliable on/off control for baseboards, fan coils, and air handlers while maintaining a static pressure rating of 300 psi.
Key Benefits for Contractors- Optimized for Low-Pressure Steam: Specifically rated for 15 psig steam and high-temperature fluid media up to 250°F.
- High Flow Capacity: The 7.5 Cv rating ensures minimal pressure drop in high-demand 3/4" hydronic loops.
- PopTop Quick-Connect Design: Allows for immediate actuator attachment and removal, significantly reducing labor time during installation or maintenance.
- Durable Brass Construction: Forged brass body with a nickel-plated stem provides superior corrosion resistance and long-term mechanical integrity.
- ANSI Class IV Leakage Rating: Delivers 100% bubble-tight close-off to prevent energy loss and system bypass.
What actuators are compatible with the VS2317?
This HVAC valve body is designed for use with Schneider Electric Erie PopTop high-temperature actuators, specifically the AH series (e.g., AH13, AH14, AH23, AH24). Standard AG series actuators should only be used if the media temperature remains below 200°F.
Can this valve be installed in any orientation?
Yes, the VS2317 can be mounted in both horizontal and vertical pipe runs. However, for steam applications, it is standard practice to install the actuator above the valve body to protect the electronics from rising heat.
Does this unit include the motorized actuator?
No, this is the valve body only. The motorized actuator must be purchased separately based on your specific voltage and control signal requirements.
