The PVS-14 NL914C Housing Kit is a rugged, lightweight, and modernized upgrade to the legacy PVS-14 platform. This kit includes everything needed except the image intensifier tube, making it a perfect foundation for custom PVS-14 monocular builds. Designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. by Nightline, Inc.™, the NL914C housing replaces outdated rotary controls with reliable push-button power and gain adjustment, significantly improving ergonomics, durability, and water resistance.
Engineered for field reliability, the NL914C introduces multi-battery compatibility and advanced digital circuitry that allows users to operate with either CR123A or AA batteries—a major advantage for mission flexibility. With up to 75 hours of runtime, this housing dramatically exceeds standard PVS-14 battery life, especially when paired with high-draw white phosphor tubes. At just 1.6 ounces, it reduces device weight by more than 35% compared to traditional housings, making it a top choice for professionals building lightweight night vision systems.
