The spec sheet will tell you. Many web sites will tell you. It's probably written on the nameplate of the valves.

What does Nabco say? Don't they have a web site?

There doesn't seem to be much information on the internet on these. Are the solenoids marked with a current (I) or power rating (W)?

Wild guess 2A for a 12V solenoid; 1A for a 24V solenoid. How many might be energized at the same time? If your solenoid nameplate gives a VA number, divide by voltage to get amps.

I don't suppose you have an ammeter, even a cheap multimeter?

Yes. Anyone with a 24 volt power source and an ammeter can do this.

Best way is to connect 24 V, in series with an ammeter on 5 Amp. range, to the solenoid to get the current rating of the solenoid.
