Pentair IntelliValve Valve Actuator
Pentair IntelliValve® Valve Actuator
Precision 24-volt valve positioning for compatible pool and spa controllers, diverter valves, fountains, and water features.
The Pentair IntelliValve Valve Actuator (521485) is an electronically controlled motorized actuator that positions compatible pool and spa diverter valves through a connected automation controller. It is used to direct or proportion water flow for pool/spa combinations, fountains, water features, solar systems, and other automated plumbing functions.
A built-in control pad and illuminated position indicators simplify setup and make valve position easier to confirm. The actuator can be adjusted in approximately 3.75-degree increments across a maximum 180-degree range, providing substantially more positioning flexibility than a conventional two-position actuator.
Main Features
Adjustable in approximately 3.75-degree increments across a maximum 180-degree swing.
Illuminated position indicators help identify the current diverter position and travel endpoints.
Push-button controls simplify setting home position, travel endpoints, direction, and service operation.
Designed for use with compatible standard 24 VAC pool and spa control systems.
Compact, sealed, maintenance-free construction for reliable outdoor equipment-pad use.
Includes an attached 20 ft cable with 3-pin connection for compatible automation systems.
