Flow Regulator Valve 31099GT / 31099 – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Flow Regulator Valve with Genie part numbers 31099GT and 31099 is a critical component used in the hydraulic control systems of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). Unlike a simple restrictor, a flow regulator (often a pressure-compensated flow control valve) is designed to maintain a constant, pre-set flow rate to a circuit, regardless of variations in the load pressure acting on the downstream component. This is achieved by dynamically adjusting an internal orifice based on pressure differentials.
This valve is essential for ensuring smooth, consistent speed in hydraulic functions like boom extension, platform rotation, or drive speed, particularly when the load or elevation changes. The part number 31099GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as erratic or inconsistent speed in a controlled function, or a function moving too slowly or too quickly due to the valve failing to compensate for changing system pressures.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Pressure Compensation: Maintains a constant flow rate (and therefore speed) regardless of load pressure changes.
✅ Consistent Speed: Essential for ensuring safe, predictable, and smooth operation of critical machine functions.
✅ Flow Regulation: Dynamically adjusts to maintain the set flow rate, offering superior control over simple restrictors.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 31099GT and 31099.
