Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2252 Valve Body

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2252 Valve Body is a professional-grade two-way zone valve engineered for precision control in closed hydronic systems. This 1/2 inch SAE Flare body is a core component of the Erie PopTop series, designed for seamless integration with spring-return actuators in fan coil, baseboard, and air handler applications. With a 2.5 Cv flow coefficient, this forged brass body ensures a low pressure drop while managing fluid temperatures up to 200°F. The nickel-plated stem and Buna N paddle are optimized for high-cycle reliability in both hot and chilled water service, supporting up to 50% glycol mixtures. Designed for high-static environments, the VT2252 is rated for 400 psi, providing robust performance in demanding commercial and residential HVACR layouts. The two-position valve body architecture allows for tool-free actuator installation, enabling contractors to mount the VT2252 zone valve into the piping before snapping the drive motor into place, significantly reducing field labor time.

• PopTop Quick Release: Allows for immediate actuator removal and replacement without draining the system or using specialized tools.
• High Static Pressure Rating: Built to withstand up to 400 psi, ensuring HVAC zone control stability in multi-story buildings.
• Forged Brass Construction: Features a durable 1/2" SAE Flare connection for leak-resistant, high-torque industrial fittings.
• Reliable Paddle Seal: The Buna N paddle design provides ANSI Class IV seat leakage protection for efficient energy management.
• Field-Serviceable Design: Compatible with VT-series rebuild kits, extending the service life of the piping assembly.

What is the maximum fluid temperature for the VT2252?
This VT-series body is rated for fluid temperatures ranging from 32°F to 200°F. For low-pressure steam applications, a VS-series body must be utilized instead.

Can this valve be installed in any orientation?
The valve body can be mounted in horizontal or vertical piping. However, when paired with an actuator, the motor should ideally be positioned above the valve and never tilted more than 85 degrees from vertical to prevent moisture ingress.

Is the VT2252 compatible with all PopTop actuators?
Yes, it is designed as a universal 2-way zone valve body for the Erie PopTop line, working with both general and high close-off 2-position actuators.
