45-Degree Elbow Fitting 48907GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The 45-Degree Elbow Fitting with Genie Part Numbers 48907 and 48907GT is a highly useful hydraulic connector employed within the fluid power systems of Genie Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs). This component is defined by the industry-standard specification 520320-4, which signifies its $45^\circ$ elbow orientation, size, and thread configuration.
This fitting is essential for smoothly changing the direction of a hydraulic line by $45^\circ$. Unlike the $90^\circ$ elbow, the $45^\circ$ angle provides a more gradual turn, which is crucial in specific areas to optimize hydraulic line routing, minimize hose stress, and ensure smooth fluid flow in tight installations.
As with all hydraulic fittings, the integrity of the 48907GT is paramount. Failure or leakage, often due to high-pressure fatigue or damage, must be resolved by replacing the fitting to prevent pressure loss, fluid contamination, and potential safety hazards.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
- ✅ Hydraulic Angle Change: Essential elbow fitting for smoothly changing the direction of a hydraulic line by $45^\circ$.
- ✅ Optimized Flow: The gradual angle minimizes flow restriction and reduces stress on hydraulic hoses and tubing.
