Continental Contitech 20042171 V-belt Section B B225

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042171 is a Section B V-belt designed for power transmission in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical drive applications. Built from Wingprene rubber-impregnated fabric, this belt delivers resistance to heat, oil, and environmental exposure. It carries belt number B225, with an outside length of 226.5 inches and an internal length of 225.30 inches. The HY-T Matchmaker style is engineered for use in matched-set drives where consistent tension and load balance across multiple belts is required. HVAC technicians, millwrights, and mechanical service professionals install this belt in fan drives, blower assemblies, compressor drives, and other rotating equipment requiring a standard Section B profile.

This V-belt fits applications where a Section B cross-section is specified, including commercial and industrial HVAC equipment, air handling units, industrial fans, and general-purpose mechanical drives. The B225 belt number is a widely recognized designation that corresponds to the 226.5-inch outside length and standard Section B width and depth dimensions. The HY-T Matchmaker designation makes this belt suitable for use in matched drives requiring uniform stretch and load characteristics across belt sets.

Key Features

• Section B profile with 226.5 inch outside length and 225.30 inch internal length
• Wingprene rubber-impregnated fabric construction for oil, heat, and moisture resistance
• HY-T Matchmaker style for matched-set drive compatibility and consistent load distribution
• Standard B225 belt number for straightforward cross-reference and replacement
• Weighs 2.5 pounds — suitable for large-diameter sheave drive systems

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for Section B V-belt applications requiring the B225 belt designation. Compatible with any drive system specifying a standard Section B cross-section V-belt with a 226.5 inch outside length.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following lockout/tagout procedures — de-energize and lock out all power to the drive system before beginning work. Inspect sheaves and pulleys for wear, misalignment, and debris before installing the new belt. Do not pry or force the belt over sheave flanges; use a belt tension tool to set proper tension per the equipment manufacturer's specification. When replacing belts in a matched-set drive, replace all belts in the set at the same time to maintain uniform load distribution.
