90-Degree Elbow Fitting 48887GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The 90-Degree Elbow Fitting with Genie Part Numbers 48887 and 48887GT is a highly specialized hydraulic connector used in the high-pressure fluid systems of various Genie Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs). This component is specifically referenced by the fitting specification 070202-4, which denotes its unique $90^\circ$ elbow orientation, size, and thread type.
This fitting is often used as a compact $90^\circ$ elbow that threads directly into a component, changing the direction of the hydraulic line immediately at the port. It is essential for managing complex hydraulic plumbing in tight or restricted spaces within the lift’s chassis, boom, or valve compartment.
Given its role in high-pressure fluid transfer, any failure or leakage in the 48887GT fitting can lead to hydraulic pressure loss, system contamination, and compromised safety features. Using a quality replacement is necessary to restore the hydraulic circuit’s integrity during maintenance or repair.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
- ✅ Specialized $90^\circ$ Elbow: Provides a sharp, immediate turn for hydraulic lines right at the connection port.
- ✅ Compact Design: Ideal for use in tight, restricted spaces where standard elbows may be too bulky.
- ✅ Standardized Specification: Complies with the industry standard 070202-4 fitting type for guaranteed thread and sealing compatibility.
- ✅ Dual Part Number Reference: Direct, high-quality replacement for both Genie part numbers 48887 and 48887GT.
- ✅ Leak-Free Performance: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure a robust, high-pressure seal.
