Bando 5l290 Fhp V-belt 29 Inches Duraflex Gl

Product Description

The BANDO 5l290 is a Duraflex GL Fractional Horsepower (FHP) V-belt engineered for shorter center distance, high-speed drive applications. Built from rubber and measuring 29 inches in outside length with a 0.66-inch top width and 0.375-inch thickness, this belt delivers reliable power transmission in compact drive configurations. The Duraflex GL construction is designed to handle the flex cycles and speed demands common in fractional horsepower systems. HVAC technicians and appliance service professionals are the primary installers of this belt type.

This belt is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment including air handlers, blower assemblies, and belt-driven fan units. It also sees regular use in household and commercial appliances where compact, high-speed belt drives are standard. The 5L cross-section makes it a widely used replacement belt across a broad range of fractional horsepower blower and drive applications in both new installations and maintenance service work.
