Unleashing the Power of Ultra High-Pressure Cleaning: A Deep Dive into Parker’s 2240D/2248D Water Blast Hoses

 In industries where extreme performance is non-negotiable—think shipyards, construction zones, petrochemical plants, and manufacturing facilities—efficient and safe equipment is critical. One of the unsung heroes of industrial maintenance and cleaning is the ultra high-pressure water blast hose, and Parker Hannifin's 2240D and 2248D Water Blast Hose series are setting a high benchmark for reliability, safety, and power.

These hoses are not your average water lines—they’re engineered for the toughest cleaning jobs and the harshest environments. With pressure ratings reaching up to 21,750 psi, the Parker 2240D/2248D series represents the pinnacle of water blasting technology. In this blog, we’ll explore what sets these hoses apart, where they excel, and why they are trusted across the globe.



What is a Water Blast Hose and Why Does it Matter?

Water blasting is a method of using high-pressure water to remove dirt, paint, chemical build-up, or other surface coatings. It is widely used for industrial cleaning, surface preparation, and maintenance of pipelines and heat exchangers. A water blast hose must therefore be durable, reliable, and safe—especially when dealing with pressures that can exceed 20,000 psi.

The Parker 2240D and 2248D hoses are specially designed to meet these requirements. They are thermoplastic hoses reinforced with high-tensile strength synthetic fibers, allowing them to withstand the intense pressures required for industrial-grade cleaning.

Key Features of the Parker 2240D/2248D Series

Let’s take a closer look at what makes these hoses industry leaders:

1. Extreme Pressure Handling

  • 2240D Series hoses handle pressures ranging from 15,950 psi to 17,400 psi, depending on the internal diameter.

  • 2248D Series hoses are built for even higher performance, with pressure ratings up to 21,750 psi.

These hoses are tailored for ultra-high-pressure (UHP) applications such as tube and pipe cleaning, hydrodemolition, and industrial paint stripping.

2. Wide Range of Sizes

Parker offers a variety of internal diameters (I.D.) to fit different operational needs:

  • 1/8"

  • 5/32"

  • 3/16"

  • 1/4"

  • 5/16"

This size flexibility makes it easier to match the right hose to the application, optimizing both performance and safety.

3. Rugged Construction

Each hose is constructed with a robust thermoplastic core and is reinforced with multiple synthetic fiber layers to enhance pressure handling and flexibility. The tough polyurethane cover provides excellent resistance to abrasion, weather, and chemicals.

4. Crimped UHP Fittings Compatibility

Parker’s TX Series crimped thermoplastic UHP hose fittings ensure a secure, leak-free connection. Proper fitting is crucial for safety when dealing with such high pressures.

Applications That Demand the 2240D/2248D

The high-performance specs of these hoses make them ideal for a range of applications, including:

  • Industrial Cleaning: Remove scale, sludge, and build-up from industrial equipment and facilities.

  • Hydroblasting: Clean and prepare surfaces without using abrasive chemicals or media.

  • Ship Maintenance: Remove rust, paint, and marine growth from ship hulls and docks.

  • Oil & Gas: Clean drilling equipment, pipelines, and rigs with precision and power.

  • Municipal Utilities: Maintain sewers, storm drains, and water treatment plants.

Comparison of Models

ModelHose I.D. (inch)Max Working Pressure (psi)
2240D-02V33-TC1/815,950
2240D-025V33-TC5/3217,400
2240D-03V33-TC3/1615,955
2240D-04V33-TC1/415,950
2248D-025V32-TC5/3221,750
2248D-03V32-TC3/1620,300
2248D-05V33-TC5/1615,000

This wide range of options allows customers to tailor their hose selection based on the specific needs of their application, ensuring the perfect balance of flow rate and pressure.
