OPTI-MAX Cartridge Check
Valve System
OPTI-MAX Cartridge Check Valves are designed to
offer maximal performance and ease of use. From the sharp, consistent
threads on OPTI-MAX custom housings, to the exacting standards used to match
ball/seat sets in OPTI-MAX cartridges, every aspect of design and
manufacture reflects an unavoidable fact: when it comes to reliable check
valve operation, quality and precision make a big difference.
OPTI-MAX check valves offer many advantages over
OEM check valve systems, and are better designed, better made and more
reliable than any other after-market check valve product
OPTI-MAX Cartridges:
A Universal Solution
A single OPTI-MAX
cartridge is interchangeable across multiple pump brands, and will function
in either the inlet or outlet position. The same replacement cartridge will
fit into OPTI-MAX housings for pumps made by Waters, Shimadzu, Agilent/HP,
and most other OEM solvent delivery systems. This allows you to minimize the
number of spare check valve cartridges you keep on hand, and dramatically
reduce the cost of inventory required to cover your emergency maintenance
needs
Free-Turn™ Housings:
An Optimize Innovation
Most of our OPTI-MAX check valve housings are
supplied in a Free-Turn configuration. This means that the nut and thread
used to tighten the housing into a pump head spin independently from the
inner housing body, where the connecting tubing and cartridge reside. This
allows you to remove your housing from the pump head without having to first
disconnect your connecting tubing.
Imagine that - if you need to replace a check valve, there's
only one nut to untighten, one simple cartridge to replace, and one nut to
tighten back up again. With OPTI-MAX, you can completely replace a check
valve cartridge in two minutes!

A Choice of Materials
OPTI-MAX cartridges are available in two
different materials, and with two different ball/seat options.
Cartridge bodies can be made with stainless steel or PEEK. When
mechanical strength is paramount and biocompatibility is not a
requirement, stainless steel cartridges are the best choice. For a
biocompatible flow path (when used with PEEK housings) our PEEK
cartridges can be used.
Ball/seat sets area available in
all-ceramic, or in ruby/sapphire. Both types of ball/seat set are
precision matched to the same leak-standard, and both will exhibit
consistent performance and long life. The ceramic ball/seat can be
advantageous in some situations due to its higher density, which can
make the valve more responsive, and help the ball seat faster in
lighter solvents.
