I sure wouldn't want a solenoid valve cutoff, listed or not. When the grid is down I still enjoy the use of modern plumbing supplied by a municipal water system. Take it away every time power is off for a day or two and solenoid valve would be disabled or removed by owners.
Mechanical valve is best for a reason.
