Schneider Electric (Erie) VS3427 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VS3427 Valve Body is a professional-grade 1" NPT 3-way zone valve engineered specifically for low-pressure steam applications up to 15 psi. Built into the renowned PopTop series, this 8.0 Cv valve body features a forged brass construction and a highly saturated nitrile paddle to handle the thermal rigors of steam-based heating systems. For contractors managing hydronic steam zone control, the VS3427 offers a versatile mixing or diverting configuration that ensures dependable fluid regulation in fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. The PopTop quick-release actuator interface allows for one-handed attachment or removal, significantly reducing field service time without breaching the sealed system. Designed for two-position spring return control, this 1-inch threaded body provides a reliable seal rated for 400 psi static pressure and ANSI Class IV leakage standards. When replacing legacy components, this 3-way steam zone valve ensures a precise fit for existing 1" NPT piping, maintaining system flow characteristics with its high-capacity 8.0 Cv orifice.

• Steam-Rated Durability: Specifically designed for 15 psi low-pressure steam systems with a high-temperature nitrile paddle for maximum longevity.
• Contractor-Friendly Installation: The 1" NPT threaded connection and PopTop actuator interface enable fast, tool-free head replacement without system drainage.
• High Flow Performance: An 8.0 Cv rating supports high-volume applications, ensuring optimal heat transfer across the zone.
• Dual-Purpose Design: Configurable for either mixing or diverting applications to suit various hydronic and steam circuit layouts.
• Robust Static Rating: Forged brass body withstands static pressures up to 400 psi, ensuring integrity in demanding commercial and residential environments.

What is the maximum steam pressure rating for the VS3427?
This valve body is rated for low-pressure steam applications up to 15 psi. Ensure the accompanying actuator is also rated for high-temperature service.

Can the actuator be replaced without removing the valve body from the line?
Yes, the PopTop design allows the actuator to be swapped out by simply depressing the release button, eliminating the need to cut pipe or drain the system.

Is this valve suitable for mixing or diverting?
The VS3427 3-way body is designed for both mixing and diverting configurations, though the "B" port is the standard service port for normally closed operations.
