The Genie 44955GT is a genuine OEM Solenoid Valve with Diode designed for Genie Z-25/8, Z-20/8, and Z-20/8N articulating boom lifts. Sourced directly from Genie, this component matches the original valve installed at the factory, ensuring correct voltage rating and integrated diode specification for your machine. Cross-reference part number 44955GT against your parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering. Keeping the hydraulic control system operating as intended starts with using the right OEM part.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Voltage and Diode Spec — Rated at 20V with an integrated suppression diode, this valve meets the exact electrical and hydraulic specifications of the original component, not a generic approximation.
- Drop-In Hydraulic Replacement — Engineered to the same port configuration and coil interface as the original, this valve connects directly into the existing hydraulic manifold without adapters or rework.
- Confirmed Fitment for Z-Series Articulating Booms — Built specifically for the Z-25/8, Z-20/8, and Z-20/8N, eliminating guesswork when sourcing a replacement for these compact articulating models.
- Precise Hydraulic Flow Control — A correctly functioning solenoid valve delivers accurate, responsive control of boom and platform movements; a failed or leaking valve can cause sluggish response or loss of function in critical circuits.
- Aerial-Lift Safety Compliance — On an articulating boom, solenoid valves govern movement in load-bearing circuits. Using a genuine OEM replacement maintains the hydraulic integrity required for safe elevated operation.
A solenoid valve is an electrically actuated hydraulic control component that opens or closes fluid flow through a hydraulic circuit in response to an electrical signal from the machine's control system. On articulating boom lifts like the Z-25/8 and Z-20/8 series, these valves manage the precise movement of boom sections and platform functions by directing pressurized hydraulic fluid on demand. The integrated diode in this valve suppresses voltage spikes that occur when the solenoid coil de-energizes, protecting the machine's control electronics from damage. When a solenoid valve fails — whether through coil burnout, seal wear, or diode failure — the affected boom function may become unresponsive, erratic, or locked out entirely, making prompt replacement essential for restoring safe, normal operation.
