The Genie 97172GT is a genuine OEM Relief Valve, 3500 PSI designed for Genie GTH telehandlers and the Z-45 XC articulating boom lift. As a direct OEM replacement, this valve is manufactured to the same standards as the original, ensuring correct pressure regulation in the hydraulic circuit it serves. Confirmed fitment includes the GTH-636, GTH-844, GTH-1056, and Z-45 XC.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Pressure Rating — Factory-set at 3500 PSI to match the original valve specification, ensuring the hydraulic circuit operates within its designed pressure range.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Manufactured to Genie's original specifications for a drop-in fit with no re-calibration required on compatible machines.
- Broad Genie Fitment — Compatible with GTH-636, GTH-844, and GTH-1056 telehandlers as well as the Z-45 XC articulating boom lift.
- Protects Downstream Components — A correctly functioning relief valve prevents pressure spikes that can damage pumps, cylinders, and control valves, extending the service life of the hydraulic circuit.
- Operational Safety — On aerial work platforms and telehandlers, maintaining correct hydraulic pressure limits is critical to safe lift, tilt, and extension operation — making this an essential safety-related component.
A relief valve regulates maximum hydraulic pressure within a circuit by diverting fluid flow when pressure exceeds a set threshold — in this case, 3500 PSI. This protects pumps, actuators, and control components from damage caused by pressure spikes during heavy load cycles or sudden movement changes. When a relief valve fails or drifts from its rated setting, the machine may exhibit sluggish response, overheating fluid, erratic movement, or loss of lifting capacity — any of which can compromise both productivity and operator safety. Cross-reference part number 97172GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct valve for your unit before ordering.
