Value Collection 20472540 5L V-belt 38 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 20472540 is a fractional horsepower V-belt designed for light-duty power transmission applications. Built to 5L section specifications with a 38-inch outside length, this rubber belt delivers reliable torque transfer in HVAC blower assemblies, small motors, and similar fractional horsepower drive systems. The 5L cross-section is a standard fractional horsepower profile, offering consistent grip and flex across sheave-driven equipment. Weighing 0.37 pounds, it is a straightforward drop-in replacement for worn or cracked belts of the same section and length. Installation requires no special tooling beyond a straightedge or belt tension gauge and basic hand tools.

This belt is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, exhaust fans, agricultural equipment, and other fractional horsepower drive trains that call for a 5L-section belt with a 38-inch outside length. The 5L380 designation is the standard industry reference for this belt and can be cross-referenced against belts from multiple manufacturers sharing that same specification. HVAC technicians and general maintenance trades routinely stock this size for blower motor drive replacement on air handlers and furnace systems.

Key Features

• 5L fractional horsepower section profile for standard sheave compatibility
• 38-inch outside length matches the 5L380 industry designation
• Rubber construction provides flexibility and durability under continuous drive loads
• Lightweight at 0.37 pounds, reducing rotational mass on small-motor drives
• Single-unit packaging allows precise replacement without overstock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement for any fractional horsepower drive system requiring a 5L-section V-belt with a 38-inch outside length, cross-referenced by the belt number 5L380.

Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician after disconnecting and locking out power to the drive unit. Always replace all belts on a multi-belt drive at the same time to prevent uneven load distribution. Check sheave grooves for wear and proper alignment before installing the new belt. Never pry a belt over a sheave flange; adjust the motor mount to relieve tension, seat the belt, then tension per equipment manufacturer specifications.
