Description
GATES B 279 belongs to v-belt, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for B 279 and any equivalents.
The Gates B 279 is a classical V-belt in the Hi-Power II series. It has a B profile, a length of 7112 mm, a top width of 17 mm, a height of 11 mm and a 40° angle. This page covers how to match it to the belt you are replacing.
Start by reading the marking on the back of the old belt. Confirm the profile is B and the length is 279, which corresponds to 7112 mm. Check the top width and height against the 17 mm and 11 mm dimensions given here. The 40° angle is the standard V-belt angle for this profile.
If the marking is worn or missing, measure the outside length in millimeters and compare it to 7112 mm. Measure the top width across the widest part of the belt to confirm 17 mm, and the height from top to bottom to confirm 11 mm. A belt with the same profile and length but different width or height will not seat correctly in the pulley groove.
When you request a quote, send the part number B 279 and the belt marking. If the old belt is too worn to read, send the profile letter, the measured length in millimeters, and the pulley groove dimensions. We carry the Gates Hi-Power II line and can help confirm the B 279 or suggest an equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I confirm the B 279 is the right replacement?
- Read the marking on the back of the old belt. It should show profile B and length 279. If the marking is gone, measure the outside length and compare it to 7112 mm, and check the top width and height against 17 mm and 11 mm.
- What measurements should I send with my quote request?
- Send the part number B 279, the profile letter, the measured length in millimeters, and the pulley groove dimensions if the old belt is unreadable.
- Does the 40° angle matter when matching this belt?
- Yes. The 40° angle is the standard V-belt angle for this profile. A belt with a different angle will not seat correctly in the pulley groove.
