Flow Control Valve 94618GT / 94618 (0.4 GPM) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Flow Control Valve with Genie part numbers 94618GT and 94618 is a standard restrictive hydraulic component used across many control circuits of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). Its dedicated purpose is to accurately restrict the rate of hydraulic fluid flow to a specific actuator or line. The specification $0.4 \text{ GPM}$ (Gallons Per Minute) indicates this is a fixed, restrictive flow rate used to regulate the speed of the associated hydraulic function.
This valve is essential in circuits that require a controlled, non-adjustable speed to ensure safe, smooth, and predictable operation. Examples include limiting the speed of platform rotation, steering angle, or auxiliary lift functions. The part number 94618GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as uncontrolled or jerky function movement, or a function moving too slowly or too quickly due to contamination, wear, or failure of the internal restrictive element.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Fixed Flow Control: Restricts and controls hydraulic flow to a precise, set rate of $0.4 \text{ GPM}$.
✅ Speed Regulation: Essential for maintaining a consistent, safe maximum speed for various hydraulic functions.
✅ Non-Adjustable Restriction: Provides a set, repeatable flow rate for reliable, factory-specified speed control.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 94618GT and 94618.
