The exact transition temperature and the order of phase transition are determined for a vertex model in three dimensions. The transition is in general of first order with a latent heat and occurs in a limited region in the parameter space. Details of the region depend on the underlying lattice and differ significantly between lattices with high (fcc and bcc) and low (simple cubic and diamond) coordination numbers.
