What are the key specifications and construction details?

The belt is specified at an effective/outside length of 87.28 inches with seven longitudinal ribs and a top width of 0.947 inches. Construction combines an EPDM outer compound with polyester cords for strength and dimensional stability under load.

• Length: 87.28 in (outside circumference / effective length)
• Ribs: 7 (designation: K / reference 7PK2217, 11720EA200)
• Top width: 0.947 in; cord material: polyester
• Material: EPDM rubber for durability against heat and contaminants

How does this belt improve durability and performance?

A-Premium uses modern EPDM rubber which resists cracking, oils and ozone better than older compounds, helping the belt maintain flexibility and grip. The polyester cords and precisely engineered cross-section keep tension and alignment stable, reducing noise and vibration when installed correctly.

• EPDM resists heat, ozone and common automotive fluids
• Precision dimensions promote correct tension and pulley alignment
• Reduced vibration and lower operating noise compared to worn belts
• Inspect and, if necessary, replace the tensioner to ensure long-term performance

What should I know before installation?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic belt routing and tensioner operation, but proper tensioner condition is essential for longevity. Follow OEM routing, inspect pulleys and replace the tensioner or idlers if they show wear to avoid premature belt failure.

• Verify routing with factory diagram and fitment notes (TSB references where applicable)
• Inspect tensioner, idlers and pulleys for wear or noise before installing
• Hand-check belt seating in rib grooves and confirm correct tension
• Dispose of the old belt and re-check after a short test drive for proper alignment
