Samuel W. Hoke began manufacturing small gas flow control valves for jeweler's torches in 1925. At the same time, he also laid the foundation for a top international fluid control products company, Hoke Incorporated. In the early 1940s, he produced the forerunner of today's Hoke valve, masterfully crafted with the highest quality materials. \r\n\r\nTwenty years later, Hoke Inc. firmly established its leadership position with the development of the Hoke Gyrolok# Tube Fitting. To date, no other manufacturer has been able to improve upon its patented design. \r\n\r\nS.W. Hoke prided himself on manufacturing masterfully crafted products, made with the highest quality materials. Almost seven decades later, this philosophy holds true. Hoke Inc. has set the industry standard for product safety, operability, durability, and reliability. \r\n\r\n
