Branch Tee Fitting 48890GT – Optimized Product Page Content
🔹 Product Overview
The Branch Tee Fitting with Genie Part Numbers 48890 and 48890GT is a specialized hydraulic connector used to create a branch-off point within a single hydraulic line in Genie Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs). This component is defined by the industry-standard specification 520429-4, which signifies its tee shape, size, and thread configuration.
The tee fitting is crucial for splitting or combining hydraulic fluid flow to two different components from one supply line (or vice versa). In a branch tee configuration, the two ports on the main run are typically identical, while the third port (the branch) is often set at $90^\circ$. This allows a single circuit to supply or return fluid to a secondary function.
Failure of the original fitting, often due to high-pressure fatigue or damage, requires replacement with a component like the 48890GT to ensure the integrity of the split circuit, prevent hydraulic leaks, and maintain the precise pressure distribution required for safe lift operation.
