[QUOTE="slimj78, post: 44179, member: 880"] You are correct in the fact of pressing the button and releasing it to partially open but you can press the other side of the switch when partially open and close it. This is the purpose of that button/momentary switch as when you press it, it only gives power to the motor to open it then when open and you release it the connection is broken and the motor will quit trying to open further. The motor doesn't know that the valve is open/closed completely so it will keep "trying" until you release the button/take away power, if you keep power to it the motor will ultimately burn out. To close it you press the other side of the button to reverse polarity and cause the motor to move in the opposite direction. A toggle switch like in our trucks is either constant on or constant off so there would be no way to reverse the motor to close the valve, the toggle will open it but not close it. [/QUOTE]
