I've discovered why it failed.
This was a valve that I pulled from our "random extra parts" closet
HPS model 145-0040K-24V

I should have pulled the spec sheet on it long ago... it required
24VAC and we were feeding it 24V DC
I'm surprised it worked fine for the first week.....

Well, that certainly explains it.
