Continental Contitech 20042611 V-belt 5V 170 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042611 is a 5V-section V-belt engineered for heavy-duty power transmission applications. Constructed from fiber reinforced Wingprene rubber, this belt delivers reliable tensile strength and resistance to heat, oil, and environmental degradation. It carries a 170-inch outside length and follows the industry-standard 5V cross-section profile, which provides a wedging action in the sheave groove for high load capacity with reduced slip. This belt is identified by the belt number 5V1700 and is built to the HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Envelope specification. Licensed HVAC technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This V-belt is suited for industrial and commercial drive systems where 5V-section belts are specified, including HVAC blower drives, compressor drives, pump drives, and general industrial power transmission setups. The 5V section is a wedge-profile belt commonly used in paired or banded configurations on large-frame equipment. Applications span rooftop units, chillers, industrial fans, and centrifugal pumps where high torque and continuous duty are required.

Key Features

• 5V wedge-section profile provides high power density in a compact cross-section
• 170-inch outside length matches standard 5V1700 sheave drive configurations
• Fiber reinforced Wingprene rubber construction resists heat, oil, and flex fatigue
• HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Envelope design allows matched-set pairing for multi-belt drives
• Industry-standard belt number 5V1700 for straightforward cross-referencing and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for any drive system specifying a 5V1700 belt with a 170-inch outside length and 5V cross-section profile. Verify sheave groove specifications and drive design before installation.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive system before removing the old belt or installing the new one. Adjust sheave centers to allow belt installation without forcing the belt over the sheave flanges, then tension the drive to manufacturer specifications using a belt tension gauge. Inspect sheave grooves for wear or misalignment before installing the new belt, as worn or misaligned sheaves accelerate belt wear significantly.
