Continental Contitech 20042174 V-belt Section B B240

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042174 is a Section B V-belt engineered for demanding power transmission applications. Built with Wingprene rubber-impregnated fabric, this belt delivers resistance to heat, oil, and ozone in industrial and HVAC drive systems. The B240 designation indicates a 240.30-inch internal length and 241.5-inch outside length, placing it in the heavy-duty range for large-sheave drive configurations. The HY-T Matchmaker style construction allows matched-set banding for multi-belt drives. Weighing 2.6 pounds, it is sized for heavy equipment, large air handlers, centrifugal fans, and industrial machinery requiring a reliable, long-life belt. Typically installed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, or industrial mechanics.

This V-belt is suited for residential and commercial HVAC blower drives, industrial fan assemblies, pump drives, compressor drives, and general power transmission equipment using standard B-section sheaves. The 241.5-inch outside length targets large-frame equipment where shorter belts are insufficient. Compatible with any drive system designed to accept a standard Section B V-belt of this length. The HY-T Matchmaker style supports use in matched sets on multi-groove drives to ensure consistent load sharing and reduce vibration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or industrial mechanic. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing belts. Never force a belt over a sheave using a pry bar, as this can damage the belt cord structure. Adjust drive tension per the equipment manufacturer specification and verify sheave alignment before returning the drive to service.
