Me, I'm still wondering how Empire, whoever they are, sells threads for a gas valve. Or anything for that matter. I haven't looked at a gas valve in awhile, but seems to me the threads are female and part of the valve body.
Can furnace gas valve solenoids be repaired/replaced?

Try eBay...I retrofitted an old "wild pilot" heater in the pump house with new safety-valve/pilot a few years ago with NOS (new, old stock) parts for about $20...
Also many times you can cross-reference the part number to an equivalent that's available from multiple sources instead of the "Carrier" or whatever part. That works for many motors for example.
Indeed. The valve I used was just off-the-shelf White valve; nothing to do with the specific heater whatsoever.
Dimensions are pretty-much stock so shouldn't make much difference whos OP actually uses.
