3000 PSI Relief Valve 45489GT / 45489 (Hydraulic Pressure Limiting Valve) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Relief Valve with part numbers 45489GT and 45489 is a crucial, safety-non-negotiable hydraulic component used extensively throughout the hydraulic circuits of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). This cartridge-style relief valve is a precise safety device that limits the maximum hydraulic pressure within its designated circuit to a factory-set pressure of 3000 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). If system pressure attempts to exceed this threshold, the valve instantly opens to divert fluid back to the reservoir, protecting all downstream components (pumps, hoses, seals, and cylinders) from catastrophic over-pressurization.
This valve is essential for maintaining the safety and integrity of the high-pressure circuits on your Genie fleet. The part number 45489GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as a failure to hold pressure (resulting in weak, slow functions) or a complete malfunction that could allow dangerous over-pressurization. A properly functioning relief valve with the correct pressure setting is critical for compliance and safety.
