Solenoid Valve 234600GT / 234600 (5-Way 3-Position) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Solenoid Valve with Genie part numbers 234600GT and 234600 is a versatile and complex electro-hydraulic component used in the advanced control manifolds of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). This valve features a 5-Way, 3-Position (5/3-Way) configuration.1 This design provides maximum flexibility by offering three distinct spool positions (allowing for flow control in both directions plus a specified center position) and controlling five hydraulic ports. The 5-Way capability allows for the intricate routing of fluid, often used to control double-acting cylinders or bi-directional motors while simultaneously managing multiple return or auxiliary lines.
This component is essential for directional control in complex, high-performance circuits. The part number 234600GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as loss of control over one or both directions of a function, inability to achieve the center/hold position, or complete function failure due to a stuck spool or a failed solenoid coil.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Advanced Directional Control: Provides reliable electro-hydraulic switching across three positions (e.g., extend, neutral, retract).
✅ 5-Way 3-Position (5/3W): High-level configuration suitable for complex bi-directional functions and intricate flow management.
✅ Cartridge Design: Easily threads into the manifold block for efficient replacement and repair.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 234600GT and 234600.
