About King Shocks
King Shocks develops rebuildable off-road and performance dampers, bump stops, and service components. Small differences in shock diameter, port thread, rod end, shaft, pressure range, and mounting style determine compatibility, so selection must follow the exact component configuration.

FAQ
What is the CV2105-101?It is a short steel Schrader valve for compatible newer King components with a 3/8-24 AN-3 ORB port.
Is the O-ring included?Yes. The exact configuration includes one dash-011 O-ring.
What pressure is it rated for?The verified product data rates the standard valve for applications up to 250 psi.
Will it replace an older 1/8-inch NPT valve?No. The straight-thread ORB connection is not interchangeable with a tapered 1/8-inch NPT port.
Does it fit every King shock?No. Confirm the component's port thread, pressure requirement, available clearance, and service manual before ordering.
Can it be used above 250 psi?Use a manufacturer-approved high-pressure valve core or assembly when the application requires more than 250 psi.
How does the port seal?The dash-011 O-ring seals against the compatible O-ring-boss port; the straight threads do not provide the seal.
Should the component be depressurized first?Yes. Nitrogen-charged suspension components require trained service procedures and complete safe depressurization before valve removal.
Installation Instructions
- Identify the exact King component and confirm a 3/8-24 AN-3 ORB port, a pressure requirement no greater than 250 psi, and adequate valve clearance.
- Follow the component service manual to remove all nitrogen pressure safely before loosening the existing valve.
- Clean and inspect the port threads and sealing surface without introducing debris into the damper.
- Lubricate the new dash-011 O-ring with a compatible service lubricant and install it on the valve.
- Thread the valve into the port by hand, then tighten it to the applicable King service specification without damaging the O-ring.
- Charge and leak-test the serviced component with dry nitrogen using trained personnel and approved equipment.
