The work enhances the position of FCx Truflo Marine as a market leader for flow control products in the worldwide defence shipbuilding industry.
The five frigates - in the Nansen Class - each displace 5,100 tonnes and are 132 metres long.
They are being built for the Norwegian Navy by Izar, which is reckoned to be one of the top ten largest shipbuilders in the world.
Valve deliveries will be phased over the duration of the five-year contract.
The motorised valves (which include two and three-way ball valves with electric actuators) and the HP Air Reducing Stations are manufactured to exacting technical requirements to meet international defence standards.
They all utilize state of the art production processes and equipment at the FCx Truflo Marine factory in Birmingham.
"FCx Truflo Marine is now one of the world's top suppliers of flow control products in the naval defence industries around the world and we believe this latest order confirms that," commented managing director Robert Bowser.
The company is part of FCX International, one of the world's leading providers of flow control products and solutions, operating from locations in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.
