Jon,
I have bought a couple of solenoids 48V & 24V (not solenoid valves) that I 
intend to experiment with. The idea being that I coat the wiring, housing &
plunger in resin & use it to directly actuate the ballast valve.
I bought the two below to get a rough idea of what gauge wire to use, how
large, what size plunger etc.
There is a limit as to how long you can operate them for due to heat, but a
ballast valve isn't open for long.
