Continental Contitech 20042852 Cogged V-belt 5L 47 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20042852 is a fractional horsepower cogged V-belt in 5L section with a 47.0-inch outside length and a 45.80-inch internal length. Built from high-traction rubber, the cogged construction reduces bending resistance and heat buildup, allowing it to run efficiently on smaller-diameter sheaves common in HVAC blower and fan drive applications. The belt carries belt number 5L470 and is rated for service from -40 degrees F to 284 degrees F (140 degrees C). It is installed by HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and experienced maintenance personnel.

This belt is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, fans, pumps, and other fractional horsepower belt-driven equipment that uses 5L-section sheaves. The cogged profile makes it a practical choice for applications with tight center distances or smaller pulleys where a standard wrapped belt would generate excess heat or slip. The 5L470 designation is the standard industry cross-reference used when sourcing replacements for worn or failed drive belts in air handlers, furnace blower sections, and similar equipment.

Key Features

• Cogged construction reduces bending resistance and heat on small-diameter sheaves
• High-traction rubber compound improves grip and reduces slippage under load
• Abrasion-resistant and ozone-resistant for long service life in mechanical rooms and outdoor-adjacent environments
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 degrees F to 284 degrees F (140 degrees C)
• 5L section with 47.0-inch outside length and 45.80-inch internal length for precise drive sizing
• Industry belt number 5L470 for straightforward cross-reference and replacement sourcing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for fractional horsepower belt-driven equipment using 5L-section sheaves, including residential and light commercial HVAC blowers, fans, and pump drives. Cross-references to belt number 5L470.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified mechanical maintenance personnel. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing the belt guard or attempting belt removal. Adjust drive center distance to allow belt installation without forcing the belt over the sheave flanges, then re-tension according to the equipment manufacturer's specified deflection. Inspect sheave grooves for wear, misalignment, or contamination before installing the new belt.
