Description
The Schneider Electric (Erie) VS3212 is a heavy-duty two-position, three-way zone valve body engineered for steam and hydronic heating systems that demand reliable, precise zone control. Designed for direct sweat (solder) connection, this 1/2″ valve body integrates seamlessly into new construction and retrofit piping configurations, offering contractors and engineers a dependable solution for zoning steam distribution.
Product Overview
The VS3212 valve body is part of Erie’s trusted VS-series line, purpose-built for two-position (open/close) operation in steam heating applications. The three-way configuration allows for diverting or mixing flow between two outlet ports, making it ideal for zone control, bypass, or changeover applications in commercial and residential hydronic systems.
Key Features
- 1/2″ sweat (solder) end connections for secure, leak-free installation
- Three-way valve body design supports diverting or mixing flow configurations
- 3.0 Cv flow coefficient for optimized steam flow capacity
- Two-position (open/close) operation for straightforward zone control
- Engineered for steam service — built to withstand the demands of steam heating systems
- Compatible with Erie VS-series actuators for a complete zone valve assembly
- Durable brass construction for long service life and corrosion resistance
- Compact design for easy installation in tight mechanical spaces
Application
The VS3212 valve body is well-suited for zoning steam or hydronic heating systems in residential, light commercial, and commercial buildings. Its three-way design makes it versatile for use in diverting applications — directing flow to one of two zones — or in mixing configurations. The two-position actuation ensures straightforward integration with standard zone control panels and thermostats.
Installation Notes
- Valve body only — actuator sold separately (compatible with Erie VS-series actuators)
