Continental Contitech 20042625 V-belt 5V 355 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042625 is a 5V section V-belt designed for heavy-duty power transmission in industrial and commercial equipment. Built from fiber reinforced Wingprene rubber in the HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Envelope style, this belt delivers reliable torque transfer under demanding conditions. With a 355-inch outside length and a 5V cross-section profile, it is suited for high-horsepower, wedge-groove sheave drive systems. HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and industrial maintenance professionals typically specify this belt for large air handling units, centrifugal fans, and related rotating equipment.

This belt is used in applications requiring a 5V wedge section drive with long center-to-center distances. Common installations include large commercial HVAC air handling units, industrial blowers, compressors, and pumps that use matched-set or single-belt wedge groove drive configurations. The HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Envelope design allows this belt to be used individually or as part of a matched set where drive balance and consistent tension are critical. Belt number 5V3550 identifies this part in standard industry cross-reference systems.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement on large drive systems should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical contractor. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing the old belt or installing the new one. Do not pry the belt over sheave flanges; adjust center distance to allow proper seating. After installation, verify sheave alignment and check belt tension according to the equipment manufacturer's drive design specifications.
