Part Identification

Hello,

I'm trying to replace a couple broken channel balances in a window and I'm having difficulty in identifying which part to order. The channel balances are for a Windowmaster window. They are non-tilt. The original channel balance is 0.5" wide and 16" long. I have attached photos of the part and the end pieces. If you could please help me identify the appropriate replacement part I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks for posting. Take a look at our Series 385 channel balance. I believe this could be a good match for your hardware.

Thank you for the response! I will try that part. Another question however. Is there an easy way to determine the sash weight of the window? Thanks!

There is only one way, which is to remove the sash and place it on a scale. Any common bathroom scale should do.

Thanks. I figured that would be the answer but it doesn't hurt to ask!
