Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2343 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VS2343 Valve Body is a professional-grade two-position steam valve body engineered for reliability in low-pressure steam and high-temperature hydronic systems. Featuring a 3/4-inch inverted flare connection, this 2-way zone valve is purpose-built as a robust retrofit solution for existing Erie PopTop series installations. With a 3.5 Cv flow coefficient, it provides precise fluid control and a low pressure drop, ensuring optimal system efficiency in fan coil or baseboard applications. The forged brass construction and highly saturated nitrile paddle are specifically rated for media temperatures up to 250°F and steam pressures up to 15 PSI. Designed for seamless integration, the VS2343 allows for quick-connect actuator mounting, simplifying field replacements and reducing labor time for contractors managing commercial or residential HVAC zones.

• Universal Retrofit Compatibility: The 3/4" inverted flare design ensures a direct fit for Schneider Electric and legacy Erie PopTop systems, eliminating the need for extensive repiping.
• High-Temperature Durability: Engineered as a steam zone valve, the internal components withstand high-cycle applications in demanding heating environments.
• Serviceable Design: The two-way valve body works with spring-return actuators that can be replaced without tools, minimizing downtime during routine maintenance.
• Optimized Flow Performance: A 3.5 Cv rating balances flow capacity with tight close-off requirements, preventing HVAC zone valve bypass and seat leakage.

Is the VS2343 compatible with standard PopTop actuators?
Yes, this valve body is designed to pair with Erie PopTop series actuators. For steam applications, ensure you are utilizing a high-temperature rated actuator to match the valve's 3.5 Cv steam rating.

Can this valve be used for chilled water systems?
While optimized as a two-position steam valve body, the VS2343 is also suitable for chilled water and hot water applications with up to 50% glycol, provided the ambient conditions meet the VS series specifications.

How do I ensure a leak-free inverted flare connection?
When installing the Schneider Electric VS2343, ensure the flare nut is properly aligned and torqued to standard HVAC specifications. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the brass valve body threads.
