Differential Area Relief Valve 97409GT / 97409 (50 PSI) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Differential Area Relief Valve with Genie part numbers 97409GT and 97409 is a specialized, low-pressure relief valve used in the hydraulic systems of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). Unlike a main system relief valve, this valve is designed to operate at a very low pressure setting, specifically $50 \text{ PSI}$ (Pounds per Square Inch). Its differential area design allows it to sense pressure in one area and control relief based on a pressure difference or pilot signal, often used to protect low-pressure circuits or to act as a pressure-operated drain/vent.
This low-pressure relief is typically found in control lines, pilot circuits, or charge circuits where high pressure is undesirable or dangerous. The part number 97409GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as leaking or sticking relief at the $50 \text{ PSI}$ setting, or failure to maintain pressure in the low-pressure circuit it is designed to protect.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Low-Pressure Relief: Calibrated to a nominal pressure setting of $50 \text{ PSI}$ for sensitive circuits.
✅ Differential Area Design: Utilizes a pressure difference principle for accurate and responsive relief action.
✅ Pilot/Control Protection: Essential for safeguarding low-pressure components or control lines from over-pressurization.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 97409GT and 97409.
