Continental Contitech 20042628 Cogged V-belt 5VX 125in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042628 is a cogged V-belt in the 5VX section, designed for high-load power transmission applications in HVAC, industrial, and mechanical drive systems. Built from fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber, this belt delivers oil resistance and flexible performance across a range of operating conditions. The cogged construction reduces bending resistance, which improves efficiency and reduces heat buildup at the drive. With an outside length of 125 inches, this belt fits larger drive configurations and is installed by HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors working on equipment such as air handlers, chillers, and industrial blowers.

This belt is suited for residential and commercial HVAC systems as well as light industrial power transmission setups where a 5VX-section cogged belt is specified. The 5VX section is a narrow, high-capacity wedge profile commonly found on multi-belt drive arrangements on large air handling units, compressor drives, and fan assemblies. The HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Cogged designation indicates this belt is engineered for matched-set applications where consistent stretch and load sharing across multiple belts are required.

Key Features

• 5VX cogged section reduces bending resistance and drive heat for improved efficiency
• Fiber-reinforced Wingprene rubber construction provides oil resistance and durability
• 125 inches outside length suits large drive configurations in commercial and industrial equipment
• HY-T Wedge Matchmaker Cogged style designed for matched-set multi-belt drive systems
• Oil-resistant compound helps maintain integrity in environments with incidental oil exposure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for 5VX-section cogged V-belt applications requiring a 125-inch outside length. The equivalent belt number is 5VX1250.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or mechanical contractors. Always de-energize and lock out the drive unit before removing belt guards or handling the belt. Use a belt tension gauge to set proper tension after installation — do not pry belts onto sheaves with tools, as this can damage the cords and reduce belt life. When replacing one belt in a matched set, replace all belts in the set to maintain even load distribution.
