Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2341 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VT2341 is a professional-grade two-way zone valve body engineered for precise on/off control within hydronic heating and cooling systems. Featuring a 3/4-inch inverted flare connection, this 1.0 Cv valve body is specifically designed as a retrofit solution for fan coil units, baseboards, and terminal heating applications. As part of the PopTop series, the VT2341 allows for efficient, one-handed actuator installation or removal, streamlining maintenance and service for field technicians. The forged brass construction and nickel-plated stem provide high system reliability with a static pressure limit of 400 psi. This two-position valve utilizes a Buna N paddle to ensure a tight seal and dependable performance in closed-loop systems. Designed for versatile mounting, the unit can be piped in horizontal or vertical configurations, provided the actuator remains above the body to prevent condensation issues. This 3/4" zone valve is a standard choice for contractors requiring a durable, low-flow control solution in restricted installation spaces.
Key Benefits- PopTop technical design allows for swift, tool-free actuator attachment, significantly reducing labor time during zone valve replacement.
- 1.0 Cv flow coefficient provides ideal balancing for terminal units, ensuring consistent temperature control and energy efficiency.
- Forged brass body and high-static pressure rating of 400 psi ensure long-term durability in demanding commercial and residential HVAC environments.
- Inverted flare connection simplifies retrofit applications, making it a drop-in replacement for existing Erie-style installations.
- Two-way configuration is optimized for precise liquid flow regulation in fan coils and baseboard heating systems.
Is the actuator included with the VT2341 valve body?
No, the VT2341 is the valve body only. You must pair it with a compatible Schneider Electric (Erie) PopTop actuator, such as the AG or AH series, depending on your voltage and end-switch requirements.
Can this valve be used for steam applications?
While the VT2341 is primarily for hot and chilled water (up to 50% glycol), for low-pressure steam service, you should typically look for the VS series bodies. Always verify that both the body and actuator are rated for the specific temperature of your application.
What is the correct flow direction for installation?
For proper operation and to prevent water hammer, ensure the valve is piped so the internal paddle closes against the direction of flow. On these 2-way zone valves, flow should generally be directed from the B port to the A port.
