Hey guys. Question. My builder still owes me an actuator. I want to put it on the 3 way in the picture to open and close my floor return for when heating. So open when heating and closed when not heating. I know the actuators are an all on or off but I can change the cam settings.

Can this be done? I assume I have to open it up and change the cams to just do a 45 degree open and close so the one return always stays open when the floor return is open or closed.

Possible? Am I correct?

Thanks!

Yes, you just adjust the cam stop positions. The actuator manual explains it.
 
Pentair has their new Intellivalve but I doubt he will be giving you one of those.

No more cams to adjust position.

I believe they will but you should confirm with Pentair. I haven’t heard if anyone using it on an ET yet.
