As the owner of a L235 using the Pillar Point System, I don't understand why
you want to use a selector valve on the wing to header tank fuel transfer
system.  I have two facet pumps installed for wing to header transfer, one
for each .  This approach permits transfer from both wings simultaneously,
and doubles the refill rate of the header tank.  This is the anticipated
layout that the Pillar Point system was designed around. A third (different
model) Facet pump is installed as a boost pump between the fuel shutoff
valve (from the header tank) and the gascolator, the recommended distance
upstream of the Vision Microsystems flow transducer.
