 Can anyone recommend a reliable brand & place to purchase a 24 v motorized 3 way diverter valve for my heating system?

Thanks

Could I ask why? Taco makes some good ones but you may not need it if you plan on using it to control water flow to your water to air heat exchanger.

I would like to be able to selectively bypass the HX on days when the outdoor temps are mild to prevent the temp in the house from becoming uncomfortably high . 
This would help me unnecessarily burning more wood than is required to maintain the home temp at a comfortable level.  I do this now manually with ball valves and can extend my burn times and lower my wood consumption.
I am looking for a valve like the one in the picture.
thanks

I had one on mine. It was a johnson control, but i took it off this year, it restricted the flow too much.
