Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2323 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric Erie VS2323 is a professional-grade 3/4 inch NPT two-way zone valve body engineered specifically for high-demand low pressure steam and hydronic applications. As part of the Erie PopTop series, this valve body features the industry-standard spring-return design, ensuring a reliable fail-safe position when power is removed from the actuator. Featuring a 3.5 Cv flow coefficient, this brass zone valve provides precise two-position control for fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. The VS series is distinguished by its high-temperature capability, rated for media temperatures up to 250°F when paired with the appropriate AH series high close-off actuator. Its inverted flare or NPT threaded connection ensures a leak-free fit with standard piping, while the 15 psi steam rating makes it a staple for steam heating maintenance. This replacement valve body allows for quick serviceability without breaking pipe connections, maintaining system uptime and operational efficiency.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- PopTop Quick Release: The Schneider Electric VS2323 utilizes a one-handed removal mechanism, allowing for actuator replacement without tools or system drainage.
- Steam Rated Durability: Specifically designed as a steam zone valve, this body handles up to 15 PSI steam, outperforming standard hydronic-only alternatives.
- High Close-Off Performance: Engineered to provide ANSI Class IV leakage protection and 25-30 psi close-off pressure depending on the actuator pairing.
- Rugged Material Build: Forged brass body with a nickel-plated stem and BUNA N paddle provides long-term resistance to corrosion and debris.
Is the VS2323 compatible with standard AG actuators?
While it can physically connect to AG series actuators for water applications (up to 200°F), you must use an AH series high-temperature actuator for any application involving steam or fluid temperatures reaching 250°F.
What is the maximum static pressure for this valve body?
The Erie VS2323 valve body is rated for a 400 psi static pressure, making it suitable for high-rise residential and commercial hydronic loops.
Can I install this valve in any orientation?
For optimal performance and to protect the actuator from heat or condensation, it is recommended to install the valve with the actuator in a vertical or horizontal position, never below the pipe level.
