Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2322 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric Erie VS2322 is a high-performance 2-way zone valve body engineered specifically for low-pressure steam applications. Built with a rugged forged brass body and featuring a 3/4 inch NPT threaded connection, this valve delivers a 2.5 Cv flow coefficient, making it ideal for fan coil units, baseboards, and central air handlers. As part of the PopTop series, the VS2322 allows for tool-free actuator installation, simplifying field service and reducing labor time. The internal assembly utilizes a nickel-plated stem and a highly saturated nitrile paddle to ensure a bubble-tight close-off (ANSI Class IV leakage rating) even in demanding 15 psig steam environments. Its two-position (on/off) operation is optimized for consistent thermal regulation and system efficiency. When selecting this 3/4 steam valve body, ensure your actuator choice matches the high-temperature requirements of your steam loop to maintain long-term mechanical integrity.
Key Benefits- Steam-Rated Durability: Forged brass construction designed to handle low-pressure steam up to 15 psig.
- Efficient Installation: PopTop design enables one-handed actuator engagement without the need for additional linkages.
- Superior Sealing: Nickel-plated stem and nitrile paddle provide 100% bubble-tight shutoff to prevent energy waste.
- Serviceability: Actuators can be replaced or serviced without draining the system or removing the valve body from the piping.
- Standard Compatibility: The 3/4 inch NPT threaded inlet/outlet allows for seamless integration into existing commercial or residential piping.
Is the VS2322 compatible with standard water actuators?
No, because the VS2322 is a steam-rated valve body, it must be paired with high-temperature actuators (such as the AG or AH series) specified for steam service to prevent seal failure.
What is the maximum static pressure for this valve body?
The Schneider Electric VS series valve bodies are typically rated for a maximum static pressure of 300 psig to 400 psig, though operating pressure for steam must stay within the 15 psig limit.
Does this valve body come with the actuator?
This listing is for the valve body only. The motorized actuator required for operation must be purchased separately based on your specific voltage and control requirements.
