Continental Contitech 20043162 Timing Belt 255L 68 Teeth

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20043162 is an L-series positive-drive timing belt rated at 68 teeth and carrying belt number 255L. Constructed from nylon with a fiberglass cord reinforcement, this belt delivers accurate synchronization in power-transmission and timing applications. The trapezoidal tooth profile engages sprocket grooves with minimal backlash, maintaining precise rotational timing under load. With an internal length of 25.5 inches and a 1.0 inch belt width, it fits standard L-section drive configurations. Licensed HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and equipment service professionals install this belt as a direct replacement in belt-driven systems requiring L-series timing components.

This belt is suited for residential and light commercial equipment drives where an L-series timing belt is specified. Typical applications include HVAC blower drives, compressor timing assemblies, and other synchronous drive systems that require an L-section belt with a 25.5-inch internal length. The 255L belt number designation allows straightforward cross-referencing against OEM and aftermarket drive specifications during maintenance or repair procedures.

Key Features

• L-series positive-drive timing belt with 68 trapezoidal teeth for accurate synchronization
• Nylon construction with fiberglass cord reinforcement for durability under cyclic loading
• 255L belt number designation for straightforward cross-referencing and replacement ordering
• 1.0 inch belt width and 25.5 inch internal length conform to standard L-section drive dimensions
• Trapezoidal tooth profile minimizes backlash and slip in synchronous drive applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for synchronous drive systems requiring an L-section timing belt with a 255L designation and 68-tooth count.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or mechanical contractor. De-energize and lock out the equipment before removing the worn belt or accessing the drive assembly. Do not force or pry the belt over sprocket flanges; relieve tension by adjusting the drive center distance before seating the belt. Verify correct tooth engagement and re-tension the drive to the equipment manufacturer's specification before returning the unit to service.
