History
HOKE Incorporated was formed in Queens, NY in 1925 and registered the trademark HOKE OK. Samuel W. HOKE developed Jeweler's Torches containing very small needle valves. In the 1930s, HOKE and Whitey formed a joint venture to develop valve technology, and by the mid-1930s HOKE Inc had shifted to industrial valves. In the 1940s, HOKE began supplying valve products to the U.S. Navy during WWII. In 1947, HOKE and Whitey dissolved their joint venture, and HOKE valves became available using 'flareless' fittings. In the early 1960s, HOKE introduced the GYROLOK tube fitting.
