T-Shirt cannon AC problem

Our team is trying to make a mounted t-shirt launcher, but we're running into problems with the sprinkler head we're using. We want to mount it to the robot and use the power distribution board but that uses DC, and the sprinkler head requires AC.

So, my question is: If we use 24v of DC from the power distribution board, is there any possible harm that come as a result? The sprinkler head has no circuitry...it's basically just a magnetic release valve, but I wanted to be sure.

Thanks!
