Assembly Options N/A NOSHOK offers multiple assembly options to meet your specific system requirements. Consult factory to discuss your customized solution.
Note N/A Please note that the standard o-ring in all the NOSHOK valves is FKM and the standard handles are "T" handles (HL2).

The handle material will always match the material of the valve, unless otherwise specified. For example, the "T" handle (HL2) on the 504-FFC will be steel. When only the standard configuration is needed, no additional designations are necessary. Please consult the factory for special application requests.

All NOSHOK valve products conform to the MSS SP-99 instrument valves standards, and valves supplied with packing also conform to MSS SP-132 compression packing systems for instrument valves standard.
  • 1 For 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" NPT only. If a packing option is chosen, maximum pressure rating is 6,000 psi. Refer to the "Pressure vs Temperature: Packing Style with Compatible Fluid" chart.
  • 2 Other o-ring materials available on request.
