The Schneider Electric Erie VT3222 Valve Body is a professional-grade 3-way zone valve designed for demanding hydronic heating and cooling systems. Built from high-quality brass, this 1/2-inch NPT body features a 3.0 Cv flow coefficient, making it an ideal choice for diverting or mixing applications in fan coils and baseboard systems. As a key component of the PopTop series, the VT3222 is engineered for two-position control, offering a quick-opening flow characteristic that ensures efficient fluid management. This valve body is rated for a static pressure of up to 400 psi and is compatible with water or glycol solutions up to 50%. The VT3222 brass valve body is specifically optimized for spring return actuators, providing a reliable fail-safe position during power loss. Its rugged construction and hexagonal ports allow for straightforward installation in tight mechanical spaces, while the paddle-style design ensures a tight seal against ANSI Class IV leakage standards. Please note that this unit is the valve body only; the actuator must be sourced separately to complete the assembly.

Key Benefits
  • Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with all Schneider Electric Erie AG and AH PopTop series actuators for versatile field application.
  • Durable Brass Trim: Features a corrosion-resistant brass body and nickel-plated stem to withstand continuous cycling in hydronic loops.
  • High Pressure Rating: Rated for system static pressures up to 400 psi, ensuring stability in high-rise or large-scale residential piping.
  • Easy Maintenance: The PopTop design allows for actuator replacement without tools or the need to drain the system, reducing downtime for contractors.
  • Precise Flow Control: The 3.0 Cv rating provides the necessary balance for 1/2-inch lines, minimizing pressure drops while maintaining high-efficiency heat transfer.
Common Questions

Is the VT3222 suitable for steam applications?
No, the VT3222 is designed for hot and chilled water systems (up to 200°F with standard actuators). For steam, you must utilize the VS series valve bodies.

Does this valve include the actuator?
This is the valve body only. You will need to pair it with a 3-way compatible PopTop actuator depending on your voltage and end-switch requirements.

What is the maximum glycol concentration for this valve?
The internal BUNA N paddle and seals are rated for use with ethylene glycol solutions between 25% and 50%.
