The Genie 44998GT is a genuine OEM 2-Position 2-Way N.O. Solenoid Valve designed for Genie Z-series articulating boom lifts, including the Z-45/25, Z-45/25J DC, Z-45/25J Bi-Energy, Z-25/8, Z-20/8, and Z-20/8N. As a direct OEM replacement, this solenoid valve meets the same design and performance standards as the original component installed on these machines. Cross-reference part number 44998GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Control — Built to the same specification as the original, ensuring the correct flow rate, port sizing, and coil rating for these Z-series hydraulic circuits.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original valve's porting and electrical connections, allowing straightforward installation without adapters or modifications to the hydraulic manifold.
- Broad Z-Series Compatibility — Fits the Z-45/25, Z-45/25J DC, Z-45/25J Bi-Energy, Z-25/8, Z-20/8, and Z-20/8N articulating boom lifts.
- Normally Open Design Maintains Safe Operation — The N.O. (normally open) configuration is critical to how the hydraulic system behaves when de-energized; a faulty valve can cause unintended boom movement or loss of hydraulic control.
- Aerial Work Platform Safety Compliance — Hydraulic solenoid valves are a direct factor in boom lift control and stability. Using a genuine OEM part supports the functional integrity required for safe aerial operation.
A solenoid valve controls the flow of hydraulic fluid through a circuit by opening or closing in response to an electrical signal. In a 2-position, 2-way normally open configuration, the valve allows fluid to pass freely when no electrical current is applied, and closes the circuit when energized — a design that serves specific boom lift functions such as holding or directing hydraulic pressure to boom movement systems. When this valve fails, operators may experience erratic boom movement, a loss of hydraulic function in one or more axes, or the inability to properly control lift and extension. Replacing a worn or failed solenoid valve with a genuine OEM unit restores correct system behavior and helps keep the machine operating as designed.
