Continental Contitech 20042836 Cogged V-belt 5L 31 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042836 is a cogged fractional horsepower V-belt designed for light- to medium-duty power transmission applications. Belt number 5L310, it features a 5L cross-section with a 31-inch outside length and a 29.80-inch internal length. Constructed from high traction rubber, the cogged profile reduces bending resistance, improves flexibility, and allows operation across a wide temperature range from -40 degrees C to 140 degrees C. HVAC technicians, equipment service pros, and industrial maintenance personnel commonly install this belt type on fan drives, blower assemblies, and other fractional horsepower drive systems.

This V-belt is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, air handlers, evaporator coil blowers, and general-purpose fractional horsepower machinery where a 5L-section drive belt is specified. The cogged design dissipates heat more effectively than a standard wrapped belt, making it a practical choice in applications with small sheave diameters or high-cycle duty. Consult the driven equipment's nameplate or service manual to confirm the required belt number before installation.

Key Features

• Cogged profile reduces bending resistance and improves grip on smaller sheaves
• High traction rubber construction for reliable power transfer
• Abrasion resistant and ozone resistant for extended service life
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 degrees C to 140 degrees C
• 5L cross-section (fractional horsepower series) with 31-inch outside length
• Belt number 5L310 for direct cross-reference lookup

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-replacement fractional horsepower V-belt for drive systems specifying a 5L310 belt. Verify sheave groove profile and center-to-center distance against equipment specifications before installing.

Installation Notes

V-belt replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians or equipment maintenance personnel. Always disconnect and lock out electrical power to the driven equipment before removing the old belt. Loosen the motor mounting bolts to release belt tension before removal, and adjust center-to-center distance to seat the new belt without prying it over sheave flanges. After installation, set tension per the equipment manufacturer's specification and re-check tension after the first few hours of operation.
