Continental Contitech 20042695 Cogged V-belt 3L 27 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042695 is a fractional horsepower cogged V-belt designed for light-duty power transmission applications. Manufactured from high traction rubber, this belt features a cogged construction that reduces bending resistance, improves flexibility, and allows it to run cooler on smaller diameter sheaves. With a 3L belt section and a 27-inch outside length (26.30-inch internal length), it is a direct fit for the 3L270 belt designation used across a wide range of HVAC, agricultural, and general equipment drives. The cogged profile also delivers better grip and reduced slippage compared to a standard wrapped belt in the same section.

This belt is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, small motors, fans, blowers, and other fractional horsepower drive systems that call for a 3L-section belt. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians and general maintenance professionals during routine belt replacement on belt-driven blower assemblies and small equipment drives. Its abrasion-resistant and ozone-resistant construction makes it appropriate for both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor equipment enclosures.

Key Features

• Cogged design reduces heat buildup and improves flexibility on small-diameter sheaves
• High traction rubber compound resists abrasion and ozone degradation
• 3L section with 27-inch outside length matches the 3L270 belt designation
• Rated for operating temperatures from -40 degrees F to 284 degrees F (140 degrees C)
• Fractional horsepower V-belt style suited for light-duty drive applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fractional horsepower V-belt for equipment requiring a 3L270 belt designation with a 3L cross-section and 27-inch outside length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or general maintenance personnel. Always disconnect and lock out power to the equipment before removing or installing the belt. Verify sheave alignment and check sheave groove condition before installing a new belt. Do not pry the belt over sheave flanges with tools, as this can damage the belt cord and reduce service life.
