Size & Construction

Outside Length40" / 1016 mm
Top Width1/2" / 12.7 mm
Nominal HeightApproximately 5/16" to 11/32", depending on manufacturer specification
IncludedOne new wrapped A-section / 4L drive belt

Designed for compatible HVAC blowers, rooftop units, ventilation fans, air handlers, pumps and general power-transmission drives. Oil- and heat-resistant, static-dissipating construction is common in this belt class; verify any application-specific material requirement before substituting brands.

Common Problems This Belt May Correct

  • Startup squeal, chirp or belt slip
  • Weak airflow or a blower running below normal speed
  • Black belt dust around the motor or blower sheaves
  • A cracked, glazed, stretched, frayed or hardened belt

Check Before Ordering

  • Read the complete number printed on the original belt whenever possible.
  • Confirm a 1/2-inch A/4L profile and 40-inch outside-length designation.
  • Inspect both sheaves for polished, rusted, widened or damaged grooves.
  • Check shaft alignment, bearing drag and the tensioning mechanism.
Pro Tip: A new belt will not permanently stop noise caused by worn sheaves, misalignment or failing bearings. Repair the drive problem first, then set final tension to the equipment manufacturer's specification.

Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect and lock out electrical power.
  2. Release belt tension according to the equipment service instructions.
  3. Do not pry the replacement belt over a pulley; create enough slack for installation.
  4. Clean and align the sheaves, then set the specified belt tension.
  5. Rotate the drive by hand, reinstall all guards, restore power and test operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are A38 and 4L400 the same size?
They are commonly dual-designated for this 1/2-inch, 40-inch outside-length belt size. Manufacturer construction and rating can still differ.

Can AX38 replace this belt?
AX38 is a related raw-edge cogged performance alternative, not identical wrapped construction. Verify that the equipment permits the change.

Why can an old belt measure longer?
Used belts can stretch and wear. Match the printed number and the manufacturer's length system rather than relying only on a free-hand measurement.
