Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2213 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2213 Valve Body is a robust, professional-grade solution for managing flow in closed-loop hydronic heating and cooling systems. This 1/2" sweat connection zone valve is engineered for high-performance fluid control, featuring a 3.5 Cv rating that ensures optimal flow rates in fan coil and baseboard applications. Built with a forged brass body and a nickel-plated stem, the VT2213 is designed to withstand a maximum static pressure of 400 psi and media temperatures ranging from 32° to 200°F. As part of the Erie PopTop series, this two-way, two-position valve body allows for tool-free actuator installation and removal, significantly reducing field labor and simplifying maintenance for service contractors. This specific model is intended for water or up to 50% glycol solutions; it is not rated for steam service. The quick-opening flow characteristic provides reliable on/off control, while the Buna N paddle ensures tight shut-off to meet ANSI Class IV leakage standards.

• Effortless Serviceability: The Erie PopTop design allows you to snap the actuator onto the VT2213 valve body without linkages or calibration.
• Durable Construction: High-pressure 400 psi rating and forged brass housing provide long-term reliability in demanding hydronic loops.
• Industry Standard Compatibility: Direct replacement for existing two-way zone valve bodies in standard 1/2" sweat piping configurations.
• Flexible Media Handling: Optimized for hot and chilled water systems, including those with 50% ethylene glycol concentrations.

Can I use the VT2213 in a low-pressure steam system?
No, the VT2213 is a general-purpose body. For steam applications up to 15 psi, you must use the VS series valve body paired with a high-temperature rated actuator.

Does this valve body include a manual override?
The manual override functionality is a feature of the actuator (such as the AG or AH series) rather than the VT2213 valve body itself. Ensure your chosen actuator includes a manual lever if override is required.

What is the maximum close-off pressure for this 3.5 Cv body?
The close-off pressure depends on the actuator used, but typically ranges from 25 to 30 psid for 3.5 Cv models. Always verify the actuator specifications to ensure it meets your system’s pump head requirements.
