Continental Contitech 20042496 3VX Cogged V-belt 47.5 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042496 is a cogged V-belt in the 3VX section, also cataloged as belt number 3VX475, with a 47.5-inch outside length. Constructed from fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber, this belt delivers reliable power transmission in demanding drive applications. The cogged profile reduces bending resistance, runs cooler, and improves efficiency compared to a standard wrapped belt. The oil-resistant compound helps maintain belt integrity in environments where light oil mist or splash is present. This belt is installed by HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and industrial maintenance professionals on belt-drive systems requiring a 3VX cross-section.

The 3VX475 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, refrigeration units, compressors, fans, blowers, and general industrial machinery that spec a narrow cogged wedge belt. The HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Cogged designation indicates this belt is engineered to match within a set for multiple-belt drive configurations, ensuring even load distribution across matched drives. Consult drive design specifications to confirm sheave groove dimensions and center distance before installation.

Key Features

• 3VX cogged section for reduced heat buildup and improved flex life over standard wrapped belts
• Fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber construction for durability and oil resistance
• 47.5-inch outside length, belt number 3VX475
• HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Cogged style supports matched-set multiple-belt drives
• Oil-resistant compound extends service life in light-contamination environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for drives specifying a 3VX section cogged V-belt with a 47.5-inch outside length. Verify sheave groove profile and drive center distance against manufacturer drive data before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. De-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing any belt. Never pry a belt over a sheave with a tool — reduce center distance to allow proper belt seating, then re-tension according to the drive manufacturer specifications. Check sheave alignment and groove condition before installing a new belt to avoid premature wear.
