Relief Valve 52374GT / 52374 (3000 PSI, GS68 PUMP) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Relief Valve with Genie part numbers 52374GT and 52374 is a crucial, high-pressure safety component specifically used in the pump manifold blocks of certain Genie Scissor Lifts (GS-68 Series). This valve is engineered for pressure protection: it is factory-set to open and divert excess hydraulic fluid to the tank when the system pressure reaches its calibrated setting of $3000 \text{ PSI}$ (Pounds per Square Inch). The reference GS68PUMP1 indicates it is the primary or first-stage relief valve associated with the hydraulic pump on the GS-68 series.
This high-pressure valve is indispensable for maintaining the operational integrity and safety of the machine by preventing over-pressurization, which protects the pump, motor, hoses, and seals from critical failure. The part number 52374GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as hydraulic system failure to build or maintain pressure (if the valve is leaking or stuck open), or hose/component failure due to over-pressurization (if the valve is stuck closed or set too high).
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ High-Pressure Overload Protection: Automatically vents excess pressure to the tank when the system reaches $3000 \text{ PSI}$.
✅ Pressure Setting: Calibrated to a nominal pressure setting of $3000 \text{ PSI}$ (pounds per square inch).
✅ GS-68 Pump Specific: Designated relief valve for the primary pump circuit on Genie GS-68 series Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 52374GT and 52374.
