Hello, i recently bought a 2nd hand JBJ Solenoid from a LFS and i realised that the device lacks a electric plug. where can i get help to connect a plug to the solenoid?

Just go down to NA. Im sure Chan will be able to assist you.

what do you mean? the picture shows the electric cable is there, the plus should be at the end

If not then just buy from any shop.

hihi bro, just go to any hardware shop and get a 3-pin plug, is easy to fix, but remember the brown/red color of your valve wire must always on the right side ( the pin with the fuse attach)

hi all, thanks for you replies. i apologize for my unclear screenshot and question.

I reattached a clearer picture of the solenoid. I'm afraid the wires from the solenoid is not color-coded, therefore i'm not sure how can i DIY a plug. Is there a hardware shop which repairs or deal with cable/plug connection?

That was the reason why I asked you to go to NA. Chan can help out with the wiring if you are unable to do it yourself. This is also to prevent any unnecessary short circuits.

don't worry just wire it to live and neutral, no polarity. In 2 wire system, ignore the ground.

You don't need to go to NA just for that.
Just follow what Robert (Shadow) said, if you have doubts, bring the device along with you to your neighborhood shop and ask for a suitable plug for it, the person at the hardware shop will most definitely tell you what Robert posted, connect to neutral and live.
