Abstract: A water wash system (200) for a gas turbine engine (100) having a fan (126) and a front hub (136), the front hub (136) can be rotated with the fan (126). The water wash system (200) generally includes a head unit (202) and a base assembly (204). The head unit (202) includes a mounting structure (206) and one or more wash fluid lines (208) for spraying a wash fluid into the gas turbine engine (100). The mounting structure (206) defines an inner friction surface (252) for contacting the front hub (136) of the gas turbine engine (100). Additionally, the base assembly (204) is operatively connected to the head unit (202) and is configured to press the head unit (202) towards the front hub (136) to fix the inner friction surface (252) against the front hub (136).
