Hydraulic Bulkhead Connector 48885GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Bulkhead Connector with Genie Part Number 48885GT is a specialized hydraulic fitting essential for routing hydraulic lines through a panel, chassis wall, or reservoir barrier while maintaining a sealed, high-pressure connection. This component is described as a “Female-4” connector, indicating it terminates with a female thread designed to accept a specific size (often -4, which is $1/4$ inch nominal size for hose/tube) hydraulic line.
The bulkhead feature allows the fitting to be securely mounted and sealed to a fixed partition, providing a stable transition point for fluid circuits between different sections of the lift (e.g., from the main chassis to a rotating turntable). This ensures that hydraulic fluid can be transferred across compartments safely and without compromising the integrity of the barrier.
Due to its unique function in high-pressure routing, a damaged or leaking 48885GT fitting can compromise both the hydraulic system and the machine’s compartmentalization. A high-quality replacement is critical for repairing manifold blocks, hydraulic reservoirs, or fixed panels.
