Editing Fan belts

Belt sizing is fairly simple, you don't need to know the part number for the size belt you need, you just need to figure out how the part number is made up, as it is made up of the belt width, and the circumfrence of the belt. with gates V belts it's pretty simple to figure out as the information is easy to read out of the part numbers.

I'll only explain Gates belts, there the most common belts used and there # cross refrence to other companys anyway

You have the belt width, it is in a code but simple to follow, as it's only 2 numbers

67= 3/8" width

68= 1/2" width

69= 5/8" width

Now that you have the width you need, you just need the length which is easy

it's the actual measurement in inches

so for example a 50" long 5/8" belt might be needed, so you order a 6950 belt.

just to make sure that length is available go to www.gates.com and search the part number
