I am sure that op has a solenoid (valve coil) and as CaptDon said, 24VDC solenoid will work on 48VAC. In fact many solenoid coils are rated for 48VAC and 24VDC. I am 98% sure that it will also work on 42V

No, there's no guarantee a DC solenoid will work on AC. If you power a solenoid designed for DC, from AC, it will vibrate. It's true an AC solenoid will work on DC, but at a lower voltage. The difference is a solenoid designed to work on AC will have a shading coil, where as one designed for DC alone won't.
