Fittings and Adapters
Optimize fittings are produced without the use of mold-manufacture techniques - they are all individually machined for optimal dimensional consistency, thread quality, surface finish and concentricity. This ensures smooth and reliable tightening, a secure tubing connection and longer thread life.
OPTI-LOK™ 6K fittings are ideal for making solid, secure high-pressure connections into any 10-32 port. For low pressure applications, OPTI-LOK LP 1/4-28 fittings are the best choice for connecting into flat-bottomed low-pressure ports.
For UHPLC, Optimize delivers with the EXP® Titanium PEEK Hybrid ferrule. The ferrule adjusts to any port depth and can subsequently be removed and reused in a different port while still maintaining adjustability. The ferrule provides the necessary zero-dead-volume seal to allow connections at pressures above 20,000 psi.
Find the Fitting or Connection Hardware You Need
Optimize offers different fitting designs for HPLC and UHPLC connections. Start with the component type below, then check the product details for the required port, thread, tubing and operating conditions.
HPLC Nuts & Ferrules
For separate nuts and ferrules used in high-pressure connections, explore OPTI-LOK 6K High Pressure Nuts & Ferrules.
For hand-tight fittings with integral ferrules, see OPTI-LOK I Hand-Tight Fittings and Couplers.
For low-pressure 1/4-28 connections, see OPTI-LOK 1/4-28 Low Pressure Fittings.
UHPLC Fittings & Ferrules
EXP Titanium Hybrid Ferrules are part of the adjustable EXP fitting system.
EXP2 TI-LOK Hand-Tight Fittings use an integral ferrule. These are distinct connection designs, so review the applicable product details before selecting components.
Adapters, Unions & Tees
If you need connection hardware rather than a primary tubing fitting, explore OPTI-LOK Adapters.
For unions and tees, review OPTI-LOK Universal Unions and Tees and select the appropriate configuration.
Not Sure What You Need?
If you are replacing an existing manufacturer-style fitting, review the applicable fitting products in the category below.
