Continental Contitech 20042512 3VX V-belt 118 in Cogged

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042512 is a cogged V-belt designed for demanding power-transmission applications in HVAC, industrial, and mechanical drive systems. This belt carries the 3VX section designation and an outside length of 118 inches, also identified by belt number 3VX1180. Constructed from fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber, it delivers resistance to heat, oil, and flex fatigue. The cogged profile reduces bending stress and increases flexibility, which improves efficiency and extends service life compared to a standard wrapped belt of the same section. HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors install this type of belt on blower and fan drive assemblies.

This 3VX cogged V-belt is suited for use in belt-driven blower systems, condenser fan drives, compressor drives, and general industrial equipment where a 3VX-section belt is specified. The HY-T Wedge Matchmaker design allows it to run in matched sets on multi-groove sheaves when precise load sharing is required. It is a direct replacement for any application calling out belt number 3VX1180. Typical installations include rooftop units, air handlers, industrial fans, and pump drives where the 3VX outside length of 118 inches is the correct specification.

Key Features

• 3VX cogged section reduces bending resistance and improves drive efficiency over standard wrapped belts
• Fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber construction resists heat, oil, and flex fatigue
• 118-inch outside length matches belt number 3VX1180 for direct specification replacement
• HY-T Wedge Matchmaker design supports matched-set operation on multi-groove sheaves
• Compatible with standard 3VX-section sheaves and pulleys without modifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for any drive system specifying a 3VX section cogged V-belt with a 118-inch outside length, identified by belt number 3VX1180.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical contractor. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing a drive belt. Never pry a belt over a sheave with a sharp tool, as this can damage the belt cords and cause premature failure. After installation, verify belt tension and sheave alignment per the equipment manufacturer's specifications before returning the unit to service.
