Yes, all you have to do is connect a battery(s) (9-24 volts) to the two leads on the solenoid.

If you modify it your gun will shoot a lot better.

use 3 9 volt batteries.
but modding it increases the power, like 10 times.

You don't need to use 3 9 volts even 1 will work, I used just 1 before I modified my valve.

If you were to use AC power "power point" you need 24v, If using a battery "DC power" you really only need one 9v battery.

All I did was mod a flow control solenoid and leave the solenoid itself in and just cut the wires and screw a 1/4" brass nipple in to go to my dust blower.
