Bobby,
I've read your replys to many electrical questions and you seem to have knowledge of the field.
So the obvious answer to your question is pigtail that APPLIANCE whip (cord) and hit your solenoids, but i think you would of thought of this so there must be something i'm not understanding.:icon_spin:
it stops, you simply have to daisy chain the "hots" and the "nots" together until the last device and then you stop.
Use a junction box and pigtail each solenoid ...
wire size is determined by your breaker, and if your hi volt or low volt, length of run etc. If its just a plug in appliance cord 14 guage are standard for household appliances. And you can just use the same size thhn type 14 guage to hit your soles
The circuit wire from a 15A breaker would indeed be 14 AWG , however from the junction box to the solenoids can be wired with 18/3 or 16/3 appliance wire.
Been a long time since I was in school, but it used be 13A for 16/3 up to 50', and I believe 10A for 18/3 up to 50'.
I do not know or endorse the supplier, but here is an example of the wire, we called it cabtire way back when and used to power valves on boilers.
