Built from high traction rubber, this belt runs in standard 3L-section sheaves and delivers reliable grip across a wide temperature range, rated from -40 degrees F to 284 degrees F (140 degrees C). The cogged construction reduces bending resistance, which improves flex life and efficiency on smaller-diameter pulleys. At 29.0 inches outside length with a 28.30-inch internal length, this belt matches the 3L290 designation used across the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis belt is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC units, blower assemblies, fan drives, and small motor-driven equipment where fractional horsepower V-belt drives are specified. It is a direct replacement for any drive system calling out the 3L290 belt number. The abrasion-resistant and ozone-resistant construction makes it appropriate for both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor equipment exposed to ambient conditions. Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and general maintenance trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCogged design reduces bending resistance for improved flex life on small-diameter sheaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh traction rubber compound for reliable power transmission without slipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAbrasion resistant and ozone resistant for extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide operating temperature range: -40 degrees C to 140 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMatches industry-standard belt number 3L290 for straightforward cross-referencing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFractional horsepower rating fits a wide range of fan and blower drive applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for any drive system specifying a 3L290 fractional horsepower V-belt with a 3L belt section and 29.0-inch outside length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower down and lock out the unit before removing the old belt or seating the new one. Loosen motor mount or idler hardware to relieve tension before installation — never force a belt over sheave flanges, as this damages the belt cord. After seating the belt, adjust tension according to the equipment manufacturer's deflection specification and re-check tension after the first few hours of operation. HVAC technicians and mechanical trades should verify sheave alignment with a straightedge before final tensioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Section\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3L290\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Horsepower Cogged V-Belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28.30 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Traction Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees C (284 degrees F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees C (-40 degrees F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResistance Features\u003c\/strong\u003e: Abrasion Resistant, Ozone Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CONTINENTAL CONTITECH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20042697\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CONTINENTAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560584315186,"sku":"20042697","price":19.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d278846fb21dd5525338befd5b31c4fd.jpg?v=1786454432","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/continental-contitech-20042697-cogged-v-belt-3l-29in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
