I got a hold of a new Hayward actuator and I’m trying to find out if I can install it on a Hayward dial-a-Flo valve. It looks like the actuator only works with a handy style valve but I am seeing if anyone knows for certain.
Hayward GV-24 actuator on Dial-a-Flo?

Edit. Was thinking Vari-Flo. The stem of a Dial-A-Flo diverter is much different than a Jandy-type that the actuator is made for.

It cannot be mounted on a Dial-a-Flo, but you might be able to pull out the insides and replace them with the insides from a Jandy style valve.
I do not know if this can be done.
You can buy a valve and try it and if it does not work, you can replace the whole valve.

Can you remove the handle and show the valve without the handle?
You might be able to mount it on the Dial-A-Flo if the screws line up and if the actuator female socket accepts the diverter stem.
You might be able to replace the diverter if it will fit.

I wish Hayward posted the dimensions for the valve key because they look nearly identical except for where the handle attaches to the assembly. That way I wouldn’t have to spend money to see if they match up and maybe I could drill out the top of the valve cover to get the new key assembly in.
I’ll try and order the upper valve assembly parts and see what I can do.

Ask Hayward to share the dimensions.
I would just get the whole valve.
Can you show your valves?
If the valve body is the same, you should be able to pull out the Dial-A-Flo parts and install the parts from the new valve.
The new valves have two sizes, so make sure to get the same size based on the pipe size.
I think that Dial-A-Flo only came in a 1.5" x 2" size.
