The simple answer is that polarity does not matter on solenoid valve coils. The negative terminal is connected to ground.
If you want to use a different color lead for each coil, you will need to solder a wire to each lead and then solder the other lead to the ground terminal.
This is not necessary if you are only using one coil but it is a good idea to make sure that you have the correct color leads for your application.

How do you hook up a solenoid wire?
Take one wire from each solenoid, twist together and connect to the common (usually white) wire of your multi-conductor irrigation cable. Each wire needs to be connected to a different colored wire. For later reference, record zones against wire color.
How many wires are connected to a solenoid?
The coil is the single electrical component of a solenoid. The coil only requires the connection of two wires to the live and neutral points of the power supply in the case of an alternating current (ac) solenoid or the positive and negative terminals in a voltage-controlled (voltage-controlled, or vcc) transformer.
DC-DC converter, the coil is connected directly to a power source, such as a battery or a generator. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to use a transformer to provide the necessary voltage and current.
For example, if the AC voltage is too low to supply the required current, then the DC converter may need to be switched on and off to increase or decrease the voltage. This is done by a switch, which is a device that turns on or off a circuit depending on whether or not the current flowing through it is greater or less than a predetermined value.
A switch is also called a load-balancer, because it controls the flow of power from one source to another.
What is a 2 position solenoid valve?
A two-position valve is always in one of two states. The valve will either be open or closed with a simple two-positon, two port valve. When the port is open, the water will flow from one side of the vessel to the other, while when it is closed, it will not flow.
The two ports are connected to each other by a valve stem, which is shown in the diagram below. If the stem is not connected, then the valves will be in a closed position. This is the most common type of port-valve in use today. Figure 2 – Port-Valve As with the two position valve, a three position port valve has three positions.
Is there a positive and negative side to a solenoid?
The furnace supplies 24 volts AC which is what the solenoid is designed to operate on. Since it shouldn’t be wired to a battery, it doesn’t need either a positive or negative connection. AC power supplies use a transformer to convert AC to DC.
The transformer converts the AC into a voltage that can be used to drive a motor or other electrical device. Power supplies do not use transformers. Instead, they use an alternating current (AC) supply that is connected directly to the load. This type of supply is called an “alternating current” or “AC-DC” supply.
What will happen when the direction of current in the solenoid is reversed?
The magnetic field is always parallel to the direction of the current. The direction of the magnetic field will be different if we reverse the current. This is the reason why the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) system can be used to control the flow of a fluid.
MHD system is based on the principle that the fluid flows in a straight line. However, if a current is passed through the system, it will flow in the opposite direction. This is because the magnetic fields generated by the magnets are always in parallel with each other.
How do you hook up a solenoid valve to a relay?
IN pin of the relay module should be joined to the digital-12 pin. The positive wire of the 12-volts DC supply and the positive wire of the solenoid valve can be connected on the other side of the relay module. Connect the negative wire to ground. If you don’t have a 12V DC power supply, you can use a 3.3V battery.
