Can anyone explain how to hook up a 115v solenoid as indicated by the link below to an AC outlet (my timer box with AC outputs)?

Looks like you need to solder a plug onto it?

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure. I have a 24v ac solenoid just like that one and I ordered wall mount plug that will output 24 v ac, so I'm going to see if that will work I guess otherwise i'll have to break out the soldering gun.

You could spend $30 on that, but for a longer term more robust solution I'd cop one of these
or even better:

I use 24v solenoids for all my controls. They work just as well as 115v.
