Gates K040245SF Stretch Fit Micro-V Serpentine Belt 4 Rib 25-1/16 Inch

The Gates K040245SF Stretch Fit Micro-V serpentine belt features exclusive self-tensioning technology engineered specifically for modern stretch fit drive systems. This 4-rib belt with a 25-1/16 inch length eliminates the need for traditional belt tensioners by automatically maintaining proper tension throughout its service life.

Advanced Stretch Fit Technology:

• Self-tensioning design automatically maintains optimal tension over the belt's lifetime
• Specially formulated adhesive locks onto the cord, allowing it to stretch without losing tension
• Advanced polyamide tensile cord provides the ideal combination of strength and flexibility
• Prior to installation, the belt is shorter than working length but stretches to precise fit once installed

Premium Construction Features:

• Patented EPDM rubber belt ribs resist contamination, wear, and pilling
• Precision-engineered to OEM specifications for exact fit and performance
• Quiet operation with wear-resistant construction
• Eliminates noise, reduces tension loss, and solves problematic drive applications

Important Installation Notes: Stretch Fit belts are single-use only and must be replaced if removed. Special installation tools may be required for proper fitment. This belt delivers optimum load-carrying capacity and ensures reliable performance in unique stretch fit drive systems where traditional belts cannot be used.
