I need help wiring a 110 volt solenoid vavle. It has two wires both

Easy. Get a length of flexible cord with black/white/green. White goes
to large flat prong, black to small flat prong, green to round prong.

At the other end, black to one red wire, white to the other red wire,
and the green (ground) to the frame of the solinoid.

....

To make the point explicit for OP, being as it's an AC-powered solenoid
the reason there are two undifferentiated power leads is that polarity
is immaterial...either way is fine.
