Continental Contitech 20042749 Cogged V-belt 4L 23 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042749 is a fractional horsepower cogged V-belt engineered for reliable power transmission in light-duty mechanical drive applications. Designated as belt number 4L230, this belt features a 4L cross-section with a 23-inch outside length and a 22-inch internal length. Constructed from high traction rubber, it delivers strong grip and flex across a wide operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to 140 degrees C. The cogged design reduces bending resistance, which improves efficiency and extends belt life in smaller-diameter sheave applications common in HVAC, pool equipment, and general mechanical systems.

This belt is suited for residential and light commercial equipment where fractional horsepower drives are used. Typical applications include blower assemblies, fan drives, pump drives, and other auxiliary mechanical drives found in HVAC systems, pool pumps, and similar trade equipment. Its abrasion-resistant and ozone-resistant construction makes it appropriate for installations in both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor equipment enclosures where environmental exposure is a factor.

Key Features

• Cogged construction reduces bending resistance and heat buildup on small-diameter sheaves
• High traction rubber compound provides strong grip and power transfer
• Abrasion resistant and ozone resistant for extended service life
• Wide operating range: -40 degrees C minimum to 140 degrees C maximum
• 4L section profile suits fractional horsepower drive systems
• 23-inch outside length / 22-inch internal length for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 4L230 fractional horsepower V-belt replacement for mechanical drive systems that accept a 4L-section cogged belt with a 23-inch outside length.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pool equipment service pros. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing a belt. Do not pry belts onto sheaves using tools that could damage the rubber or cords; move the drive motor to the slack position to allow proper seating. After installation, verify belt tension and sheave alignment before returning the system to service.
