Solenoid Valve 234609GT / 234609 (3-Way 2-Position) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Solenoid Valve with Genie part numbers 234609GT and 234609 is a standard, versatile electro-hydraulic component used in the control circuits of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). This valve features a 3-Way, 2-Position (3/2-Way) configuration. This is a common and straightforward directional control valve: it has two operating states (energized or de-energized) and directs fluid flow between three ports. The 3-Way setup is typically used for basic ON/OFF control, to divert fluid to a single-acting cylinder or actuator, or to select between two different hydraulic lines while blocking a third.
This component is essential for reliable electro-hydraulic switching in numerous machine functions. The part number 234609GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as a failure of the associated function to activate/deactivate, or the function remaining locked “ON” or “OFF” due to the solenoid coil failing or the internal spool sticking.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Basic Directional Control: Provides reliable electro-hydraulic switching for simple ON/OFF or diverting functions.
✅ 3-Way 2-Position (3/2W): Standard configuration for controlling single-acting cylinders or auxiliary controls.
✅ Cartridge Design: Easily threads into the manifold block for quick and efficient replacement.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 234609GT and 234609.
