Bando 5L710 V-belt 5L Section 71 in Outside Length

Product Description

The BANDO 5L710 is a 5L-section rubber V-belt designed for power transmission in HVAC, agricultural, industrial, and general mechanical drive applications. With an outside length of 71 inches and a belt width of 21/32 inch (0.66 inches), it delivers reliable torque transfer across sheave-driven systems. The belt measures 3/8 inch thick and is constructed from rubber using a Duraflex style build. Manufactured to RMA standards, the 5L710 resists ozone degradation, making it suitable for equipment that operates in outdoor or mechanically harsh environments. HVAC technicians, equipment mechanics, and facilities maintenance professionals install this belt as a direct OEM-style replacement.

The 5L710 fits drive systems that call for a fractional-horsepower 5L-section belt, commonly found on residential and light-commercial HVAC air handlers, blower assemblies, condenser fans, compressors, and general-purpose motor-driven equipment. The 5L designation follows the RMA fractional horsepower belt standard, which means this belt is interchangeable across any sheave set engineered for the 5L cross-section. Technicians replacing worn or cracked belts on seasonal HVAC startups will find this a straightforward drop-in swap.

Key Features

• 5L-section profile per RMA standard for consistent cross-section fit across compatible sheaves
• 71-inch outside length with 0.66-inch width and 0.375-inch thickness
• Duraflex rubber construction for flexibility under variable-load drive conditions
• Ozone-resistant compound reduces cracking and degradation in outdoor or ventilated equipment
• Black finish; sold individually as a single-unit package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for any drive system requiring a standard 5L-section V-belt with a 71-inch outside length and 21/32-inch width, conforming to RMA fractional horsepower belt specifications.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians or equipment mechanics. Always disconnect and lock out electrical power to the drive motor before removing the old belt or installing a new one. Adjust sheave center distance to relieve tension before removing the worn belt, then seat the new belt fully in the sheave grooves before re-tensioning to the equipment manufacturer's specification. Do not use belt dressing compounds on rubber V-belts, as these accelerate deterioration.
