Built from high-traction rubber, this 5L-section belt measures 55 inches in outside length with an internal length of 53.80 inches. The cogged construction reduces bending resistance, which lowers heat buildup and improves efficiency on smaller-diameter sheaves. It carries belt number 5L550 and is rated for continuous service from -40 degrees C up to 140 degrees C, making it suitable for both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor installations exposed to seasonal temperature swings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis belt is used in fractional horsepower drive systems commonly found in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, including belt-drive air handlers, furnace blowers, condenser fan assemblies, and ventilation units. The 5L section is a standard fractional horsepower profile widely used wherever a compact, high-grip drive belt is required. HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors are the primary installers. The abrasion-resistant and ozone-resistant compound extends service life in environments with airborne contaminants or UV exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCogged belt profile reduces flex resistance and heat generation on small-diameter sheaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-traction rubber compound delivers positive grip under variable load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAbrasion-resistant and ozone-resistant construction for extended outdoor or mechanical-room service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide operating temperature range: -40 degrees C to 140 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 5L section profile fits fractional horsepower sheaves without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBelt number 5L550 for direct cross-reference during field replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for fractional horsepower belt-drive systems using a 5L-section sheave with a 55-inch outside circumference requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelt replacement should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical contractor. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing the belt guard or accessing the drive assembly. Do not pry the belt onto the sheave with tools that could nick the rubber compound; instead, release sheave center distance to allow slack installation. After installation, verify proper belt tension and sheave alignment before returning the unit to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Section\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5L550\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Horsepower V-Belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cogged\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 53.80 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40 degrees C\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: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26111800\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: 20042860\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CONTINENTAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563444011314,"sku":"20042860","price":23.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8b925b69daf4c10a9665f72e2c4c6fc9.jpg?v=1786497718","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/continental-contitech-20042860-cogged-v-belt-5l-55-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
