Optimize is proud to introduce EXP®2 - the next generation of EXP® UHPLC fitting technology. Featuring a small 3/16” hex-head EXP®2 nut, the new EXP®2 Driver and the original titanium hybrid ferrule, the EXP®2 fittings offer hand-tight connections rated to 20,000 psi+. The EXP®2 nuts are available with 6-32, 6-40 and 10-32 threads and have been scaled down to allow for maximum working room in cramped spaces.
The EXP®2 Driver is a small, easy to use knurled torque driver which snaps on to the nuts for hand-tightening and loosening. The EXP®2 Driver is slotted and can be removed from the nut and tubing after use.
The patented EXP® Titanium Hybrid Ferrule integrates the resilience of titanium with the proven sealing ability of PEEK in a superb one-piece design. The Hybrid Ferrule provides a perfect seal with every connection, yet the swage can be released without tools to adjust to the different port depths of various hardware. This adjustability provides unlimited value through repeated zero-dead-volume connections with any port configuration.
The EXP® and EXP®2 Fittings are the premier adjustable nut and ferrule compression system for extreme high-pressure connections. The key advantages lie at the confluence of simplicity and versatility. With the EXP® and EXP®2 Fitting Systems, you no longer have to clip off and replace swaged ferrules or wonder if you are achieving the best possible connection.
