Proportional Valve 229615GT / 229615 (SP08-20 Series) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Proportional Valve with Genie part numbers 229615GT and 229615 is an electro-hydraulic component commonly referenced by its technical specification, the SP08-20 series, indicating a specific size and design widely used across the industry. This valve is a proportional control cartridge, meaning it does not merely switch hydraulic flow ON or OFF, but rather modulates the flow rate (speed) of a hydraulic function precisely and variably in proportion to the strength of a variable electrical input signal (e.g., from a joystick or ECU).
The SP08 designation typically refers to the 8-size cavity used in its manifold, and the -20 series often denotes a specific functional type, usually a 2-way, normally closed proportional valve. This valve is essential for achieving smooth, precise feathering and variable-speed control in critical machine functions. The part number 229615GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as loss of fine speed modulation, erratic or jerky movement at low speeds, or a complete failure of the associated proportional function.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Proportional Flow Control: Enables smooth, variable speed/force control directly proportional to the electrical input.
