Very high pressure hydraulic hoses are designed for specialised systems where the operating pressure and service conditions require a hose specifically rated for the application. They are used in selected hydraulic jacking systems and other demanding industrial operations. Water-blasting hoses are also used for high-pressure water delivery, but they must be selected for the intended water-jetting service rather than assumed to be interchangeable with hydraulic oil hoses.
Hydrofit Engineers lists Jack Hose and Water Blast Hose variants identified as 30, 40, 45 and 50 in its existing hydraulic hose range. The exact pressure ratings, sizes and intended service for each variant should be confirmed against the applicable product datasheet before publication or selection.
Hydraulic Jack Hose
Hydraulic jack hoses are used in compatible hydraulic jacking equipment and systems where controlled fluid delivery is required to operate lifting or force-generating equipment.
When selecting a jack hose, the hose’s working pressure must meet the equipment requirement, and the end connections must match the jack, pump or hydraulic power unit. Hose routing, length, bending restrictions and the manufacturer’s operating instructions should also be considered.
A jack hose should never be selected solely because its outside appearance or connection resembles an existing hose. Confirm the pressure rating and compatibility of the complete assembly.
Water Blast Hose
Water blast hoses are intended for specified high-pressure water delivery and water-jetting applications. The hose construction and end connections must be appropriate for the equipment, water pressure and service conditions.
Hydrofit’s listed range includes Water Blast Hose 30, Water Blast Hose 40, Water Blast Hose 45 and Water Blast Hose 50. These names are retained here as product identifiers; they should not be treated as verified pressure ratings without the relevant datasheets.
Water-blasting hoses should not be confused with hoses intended for hydraulic oil circuits. The media, connections and service requirements must match the intended application.

The working pressure, burst pressure, size range and temperature limits should not be estimated from the product name. Use the model-specific documentation to complete this table.
Depending on the specific product and its approved use, these hose types may be considered for:
The suitability of a hose for any application must be confirmed from its rated pressure, medium compatibility, fittings and operating conditions.
The consequences of selecting an incorrectly rated hose can be serious. Check the following before placing an order:
Very high pressure systems require particular attention during installation and operation. Use only hoses and assemblies rated for the intended service. Inspect them for abrasion, cuts, exposed reinforcement, leaks, deformation and damaged connections, and replace them in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Never check a suspected leak with your hand, and never loosen a connection while the system is pressurised. Depressurise and isolate the equipment before inspection or maintenance, following the equipment manufacturer’s safety procedure. A hose that looks intact may still be unsuitable if it has been damaged, incorrectly assembled or used beyond its rated limits.
Hydrofit Engineers offers a range that includes hydraulic jack hoses and Water Blast Hose variants for specialised industrial requirements. To help identify a suitable product, provide the application, medium, required working pressure, hose bore, operating temperature, required length and end connection details.
