I'm a little more concerned with his description of the solenoid heating up to the point that it could damage something nearby. I don't know if that's normal for 120vac solenoids or not but it seems like a pretty good case for using a lower voltage coil. I've switched the 24v solenoids in sprinkler control units with anything from 12vdc to 24vac and they don't get that hot.
Pretty much all 120V coils get warm. Some may say they are HOT. I guess on your deffinition of hot. But ya, with the quick connects, I guess the price will go up quickly
