The Genie 31798GT is a genuine OEM Check Valve with #8 O-Ring Ports, designed for Genie S-series telescopic boom lifts and Z-series articulating boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this check valve is built to the same specification as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring correct hydraulic behavior across compatible machines. Cross-reference part number 31798GT against your parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering. Verified fitment includes the S-40, S-45, S-60, S-65, S-80, S-85, Z-34/22 IC, and Z-45/22 MP.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Integrity — Manufactured to exact OEM specification, ensuring the valve cracks at the correct pressure threshold for consistent one-directional flow control in Genie boom lift hydraulic circuits.
- Correct Port Configuration — #8 O-ring port sizing matches the original hydraulic line connections directly, allowing straightforward installation without adapters or re-threading.
- Broad Boom Lift Compatibility — Fits a wide range of Genie S-series telescopic and Z-series articulating boom lifts, including the S-40, S-45, S-60, S-65, S-80, S-85, Z-34/22 IC, and Z-45/22 MP.
- Protects System Pressure — Prevents hydraulic backflow that can cause boom drift, sluggish response, or loss of position, keeping boom movement controlled and predictable.
- Aerial Lift Safety Relevance — A properly functioning check valve is critical to maintaining boom position under load. A failed or leaking valve can compromise platform stability, making timely replacement essential for safe aerial operations.
A check valve is a one-way hydraulic component that allows fluid to flow freely in a single direction while blocking reverse flow. In a boom lift hydraulic system, it prevents the boom or other actuated components from drifting or dropping when pressure is not being actively applied by the pump. When this valve wears, sticks open, or begins to leak internally, operators may notice unintended boom movement, slow response, or an inability to hold a raised position — all of which point to a valve that needs immediate replacement to restore safe, controlled operation.
