Schneider Electric VM3212 Sweat 3-Way 3.0Cv Modulating Valve 1/2 Inch

The Schneider Electric (Erie) VM3212 Sweat is a compact (around 0.7lbs) 3-way mixing valve ideal for temperature control in HVAC systems. Made of brass for durability, it handles pressures up to 300 psi and features sweat connections for a secure, brazing-free installation (using solder or a brazing paste). This 1/2 inch valve works by regulating the flow of hot and cold water, allowing for precise mixing to achieve desired temperatures. An internal mechanism, likely controlled by a separate actuator or motor, determines how much hot and cold water are blended. This makes the VM3212 suitable for applications like zone heating, where different areas require specific temperature adjustments. By precisely mixing water flow, the valve ensures efficient temperature control and contributes to overall system comfort and potentially lower energy bills.
