Schneider Electric (Erie) VM3517 Valve Body
The Schneider Electric VM3517 (formerly Erie) is a professional-grade three-way modulating zone valve body engineered for high-demand hydronic applications. This 1-1/4 inch sweat connection valve features an 8.0 Cv rating with a linear flow characteristic, providing high-capacity performance for chilled water, hot water, and up to 50% glycol solutions. Built with a rugged brass body and a chrome-plated stem, the VM3517 ensures an ANSI Class IV leakage rating and handles close-off pressures up to 35 psid. Designed for seamless integration with PopTop series actuators, such as the AT floating or AP proportional models, it allows for quick-connect installation without draining the system. This valve body is the standard for contractors managing multi-zone commercial or residential HVAC systems where precise temperature modulation and long-term reliability are non-negotiable requirements. Use this mixing valve configuration to maintain stable loop temperatures and efficient fluid distribution.
Key Benefits for Installations
- Efficient Field Service: The PopTop quick-connect design allows for actuator replacement without breaking pipe connections or draining the loop.
- High Flow Capacity: The 8.0 Cv rating is optimized for larger 1-1/4" lines, ensuring minimal pressure drop across the valve.
- Media Versatility: Rated for temperatures ranging from 32°F to 200°F, making it suitable for both heating and cooling hydronic circuits.
- Durable Construction: Features a forged brass body and thermoplastic plug for resistance to mineral buildup and corrosion.
- Tight Shut-off: ANSI Class IV rating ensures 0.01% maximum leakage, preventing ghost energy consumption in inactive zones.
Common Questions
Which actuators are compatible with the VM3517?
This valve body is designed specifically for Erie/Schneider Electric PopTop actuators, including the AP (proportional 0-10 VDC) and AT (tri-state/floating) series.
Can this valve be used for steam applications?
No, the VM3517 is rated for hot and chilled water or glycol mixtures up to 200°F. It is not suitable for steam service.
Is this a mixing or diverting valve?
The VM3517 is a 3-way mixing valve body. While it is primarily used in mixing configurations, proper piping must be observed to ensure the linear flow characteristic performs as intended.
