Long Hydraulic Connector 48917GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Long Hydraulic Connector with Genie Part Numbers 48917 and 48917GT is a straight, specialized fitting used within the high-pressure hydraulic systems of Genie Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs). This component is defined by the industry-standard specification 520122-6, which denotes its specific size, straight configuration, and “long” body design.
The “long” feature of this connector is typically used in applications where a standard, shorter straight connector would not adequately extend through a mounting bracket, manifold housing, or deep component port. This ensures the fitting extends sufficiently to provide secure attachment and easy access for the connecting hose or tube, all while maintaining a high-integrity, leak-free seal.
Given its role in maintaining hydraulic integrity under pressure, any damage or leakage in the 48917GT fitting must be immediately addressed. Replacement with a quality component is essential to prevent fluid loss and ensure the safe, reliable operation of the lift.
