Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2315 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric Erie VT2315 Valve Body is a professional-grade two-way zone valve engineered for precision flow control in closed hydronic systems. Featuring a 3/4" sweat connection and a robust 5.0 Cv flow coefficient, this forged brass body is specifically designed to manage hot or chilled water in high-demand applications including fan coil units, baseboard radiators, and air handlers. The VT2315 utilizes the industry-standard Erie PopTop mounting system, allowing for rapid, one-handed actuator replacement without the need for specialized tools or system drainage.
Built to withstand demanding mechanical environments, this 2-position valve body is rated for a static pressure of 300 psi and provides a tight close-off that meets or exceeds ANSI Class IV standards. The internal BUNA N paddle and nickel-plated stem ensure reliable cycling and high resistance to corrosion. Whether you are performing a new installation or a field repair, this brass zone valve body ensures optimal thermal distribution by maintaining consistent flow characteristics across a wide temperature range of 32° to 200°F.
- Efficient Flow Management: High 5.0 Cv rating supports significant volume for residential and light commercial HVAC zoning.
- Durable Construction: Forged brass body and stainless steel base plate offer long-term performance under high static pressures.
- Serviceability: The PopTop series design facilitates quick actuator swaps, reducing downtime for contractors.
- System Compatibility: Ideal for use with water or up to 50% ethylene glycol mixtures in closed-loop systems.
- Reliable Seating: Optimized paddle design ensures a leak-free seal to prevent thermal bleed and energy loss.
Common Questions:
Which actuators are compatible with the VT2315?
This valve body is designed to pair with Schneider Electric Erie PopTop actuators, including the AG and AH series for 24V or 120V configurations.
Can the VT2315 be used for steam applications?
No, the VT series is rated for water and glycol. For low-pressure steam up to 15 psi, the VS series valve body and high-temperature AH series actuators are required.
What is the proper orientation for installation?
The valve should be installed with the actuator above the valve body in horizontal piping and can be tilted up to 85 degrees from vertical. Always ensure flow direction follows the directional indicators on the body.
