Continental Contitech 20042604 Cogged V-belt 5VX 112 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042604 is a cogged V-belt in the 5VX section, designed for high-power, wedge-style belt drive systems used across HVAC, industrial, and agricultural equipment. Built from fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber, this belt delivers oil resistance and flex performance across a range of operating conditions. The cogged design reduces bending resistance, which lowers heat buildup and improves efficiency on smaller-diameter sheaves. With a 112-inch outside length, it fits drive configurations where longer belt runs are required. HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers of this belt type.

This belt is suited for wedge-style drive systems that specify a 5VX section cogged belt. The 5VX profile is a heavy-duty wedge section commonly found on rooftop units, air handlers, centrifugal fans, compressors, and industrial blowers where high torque and tight center distances are involved. The HY-T Wedge Matchmaker cogged designation indicates it is designed to run with matched sets or as a direct single-belt replacement in appropriate drives. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• 5VX section cogged profile reduces bending resistance and heat buildup on small-diameter sheaves
• Fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber construction provides durability and oil resistance
• 112-inch outside length suits longer center-distance drive configurations
• Oil-resistant compound helps maintain belt integrity in environments with fluid exposure
• HY-T Wedge Matchmaker cogged designation supports use in matched-set or single-belt drive applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for drive systems specifying a 5VX section cogged V-belt with a 112-inch outside length, also identified by belt number 5VX1120. Confirm sheave groove profile and center distance against drive specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians or mechanical maintenance professionals. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before removing the old belt. Never pry a belt over sheave flanges; always relieve tension by adjusting the drive motor or idler before installation. After installing the new belt, set tension per the drive manufacturer specifications and check alignment with a straightedge or laser alignment tool before returning the system to service.
