Schneider Electric (Erie) VS3212 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VS3212 Valve Body is a robust, three-way mixing/diverting zone valve designed for demanding HVAC zone control. Engineered specifically for two-position steam applications, this 1/2-inch sweat connection body facilitates seamless integration into hydronic heating and cooling systems. With a 3.0 Cv flow coefficient, it provides the precise delivery required for terminal units like fan coils and baseboards. The forged brass construction and Buna N paddle ensure reliable ANSI Class IV leakage ratings and a maximum static pressure of 300 psig. Operating within a temperature range of 32° to 250°F depending on the chosen actuator, the VS3212 supports both low-pressure steam up to 15 psig and 50% glycol solutions. Its PopTop actuator interface allowing for one-handed replacement or service without draining the system, maximizing uptime for commercial and residential contractors managing hydronic zone valves.
Key Benefits:
- System Versatility: Dual-purpose mixing or diverting capabilities for hot water, chilled water, or low-pressure steam.
- Service Efficiency: Features the PopTop quick-release mechanism for rapid actuator replacement without breaking pipe seals.
- Industrial Durability: Rated for a 300 psi static pressure with a high-temperature saturated nitrile paddle for longevity.
- Optimized Flow: High 3.0 Cv capacity ensures minimal pressure drop across 1/2-inch lines.
Common Questions:
Is this valve body compatible with high-pressure steam?
