The coil can be matched up at a plumbing supply house. The outside dimensions, bore size and voltage info should get you what you need. They are very common with solenoid valves used with air and water.

Back to this. The solenoid is an ASCO Red Hat, Grainger may have something they can match up to it. It's a very common coil in industry, the bore size makes it a little tricky but they're out there.

I’m definitely getting a back up solenoid after reading this and researching them. Supplyhouse.com has an extensive inventory but without calling them I’m not exactly sure if the 120v 60hz 10.1amp would replace the original on the 130.

The dimensions of the housing they have are much smaller from what I saw. I was actually able to find the original manufacturers part on eBay new from old stock but I paid 30$ shipped.
