A solenoid for a pilot operated water valve having reduced copper and increased thermal efficiency is provided. The solenoid utilizes smaller gauge copper wire for the coil, and reconfigures the coil to a shorter, fatter mechanical design than prior solenoids. Despite the focus of reducing material cost, the pole frame of the solenoid utilizes thicker material than the prior pole frame. This thicker material aids in the thermal performance of the solenoid. A pilot operated valve utilizing such a reduced copper solenoid is also provided.
