Everything You Need to Know About the Parker 2380N Hose

When it comes to ultra-high-pressure hydraulic systems, the Parker 2380N hose stands out as one of the most trusted and efficient thermoplastic hoses on the market. Its compact design, impressive pressure tolerance, and durability make it ideal for industries where performance and safety are top priorities.

In this blog, we’ll explore everything you need to know about the Parker 2380N hose, including its construction, technical specifications, benefits, applications, and why choosing the right supplier makes a difference.



What is the Parker 2380N Hose?

The Parker 2380N hose is a high-pressure thermoplastic hydraulic hose designed for use in demanding applications where tight spaces, high working pressures, and extreme durability are essential. Unlike traditional rubber hoses, the 2380N series is lighter, more compact, and provides better flexibility, making it a popular choice across industries.

This hose is part of Parker Hannifin’s extensive range of high-performance hoses and fittings, engineered for long service life, efficient operation, and safety even under high stress.

Technical Specifications

The Parker 2380N is built with premium-quality materials and meets global performance standards, including ISO 3949 and EN 855 R8. Below is a breakdown of its key specifications:

Its construction allows it to maintain structural integrity and operational precision, even under the most strenuous conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

Let’s explore why the Parker 2380N hose is a preferred choice for engineers and equipment manufacturers:

High Working Pressure Capability

This hose is designed to withstand working pressures up to 400 bar (5800 psi), which is essential for applications like hydraulic jacks, lifting cylinders, and rescue equipment.

Compact and Flexible Design

With its small outer diameter and tight bend radius, the 2380N hose can be installed in equipment where space is limited. This is particularly beneficial in modern mobile machinery and compact industrial layouts.

Lightweight Construction

Weighing significantly less than rubber hoses with steel wire reinforcement, the 2380N offers easy handling, quicker installations, and reduced system weight, which improves efficiency.

Abrasion and Chemical Resistance

The polyurethane cover is highly resistant to wear, oils, fuels, ozone, and harsh environments. This makes it ideal for outdoor and industrial use where hoses are often exposed to physical and chemical stress.

Minimal Volumetric Expansion

The minimal expansion of the Parker 2380N hose under pressure ensures precise hydraulic control, especially in servo-controlled or fast-response systems.

Common Industrial Applications

The versatility of the Parker 2380N makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications. Some of the most common include:

  • Construction and earth-moving machinery

  • Rescue tools and safety equipment

  • Mobile and agricultural machinery

  • Industrial automation systems

  • Material handling and lifting systems

Its compact design and high-pressure rating make it ideal for demanding, high-performance environments.

How to Choose the Right Parker 2380N Hose

Selecting the right hose involves more than just matching the size. You’ll need to consider:

  1. Working Pressure Requirements
    Always choose a hose that can handle your system’s maximum pressure—plus a safety margin.

  2. Hose Routing Space
    The 2380N’s small outer diameter helps in tight spaces, but check bend radius limits for optimal performance.

  3. Fluid Compatibility
    Ensure the hydraulic fluid you use is compatible with the hose’s inner tube and cover.

  4. Temperature Conditions
    Take into account both ambient and media temperature to avoid hose degradation over time.

  5. Assembly and Fittings
    Use Parker-approved fittings for best results in sealing, safety, and hose life.

If you're unsure, working with a Parker distributor like SG Dynamics ensures you get the correct configuration for your equipment.
