Imperial valves

I have an Imperial Valet timer I need to replace and I also have Imperial valves, however they are plastic ones not brass. Do the plastic Imperial valves also draw more current?

Probably not, but to be certain, you might post a photo of one of the valves, showing the solenoid.

Well, I can't get a picture to copy and paste in this post. Not sure how the other guy above did it. I didn't notice before, but the sticker on the solenoid says 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 3.5 Watt. I don't know tons about electricity (enough to get myself in trouble), but is there a way to figure out amps from the watts?
