Continental Contitech 20042617 V-belt 5V 236 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042617 is a 5V-section wedge V-belt designed for heavy-duty power transmission applications. Built from fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber, this belt delivers reliable torque transfer in demanding drive systems. It carries a 236-inch outside length and conforms to the 5V profile, making it suitable for high-load, multi-belt drive setups found in industrial HVAC equipment, commercial air handlers, and large rotating machinery. Licensed HVAC technicians and industrial mechanics are the primary installers for this belt type.

This belt is used in commercial and industrial settings where 5V-section drives are specified. Typical applications include centrifugal fans, blowers, compressors, and pump drives that require wedge-style belts for high-speed, high-torque service. The HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Envelope designation indicates this belt is engineered for matched-set compatibility, allowing it to run alongside other belts in the same envelope class without load imbalance on multi-groove sheaves.

Key Features

• 5V wedge-section profile for high-torque, compact drive configurations
• 236-inch outside length suits large-diameter or long-center-distance drive systems
• Fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber construction resists heat, oil, and flex fatigue
• HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Envelope style supports matched-set multi-belt installations
• Belt number 5V2360 for direct cross-reference ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for industrial and commercial drive systems specifying a 5V-section wedge belt with a 236-inch outside length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or industrial mechanic with the drive system fully de-energized and locked out per LOTO procedures. Never pry or force the belt over sheave flanges; always adjust center distance to allow proper belt seating. When replacing one belt in a matched set, replace all belts on the drive simultaneously to prevent uneven load distribution. Verify sheave alignment and groove condition before installing a new belt.
