I assume 1/2" is enough but you will need to check the threads on your valve.
Also appear to be available in 12v and 24v if low voltage is preferred.
I have not entertained a project exactly like this. Just a random thought came to mind. I have replaced and connected few gas valves.
Another thought would be to adapt a gas valve for a fireplace that includes a remote. I have two of these at home and they work great in a fireplace.... Doubt the range of the remote would be much over 15' though.
