Thanks for posting! Actually, these are called balances. The sash is the part of the window that moves up and down. Before I can offer an applicable replacement, I just have a few questions.
What is the length and diameter of the tube for this balance? Could you also tell me the weight of the window sash? That would help us determine what weight rating a replacement balance would need. Let me know! |

Thank you for the information. It looks like you may have something like our S500-31 spiral balance. Does that look good to you?
You would determine the sash weight by removing your sash from the window and weighing it on a scale. It's important to know, as you need to choose your tip color based on what that weight is. For the S500-31, the Red Tip can support a window sash weight of 7 through 29 pounds, while the Blue Tip can support 12 through 31. |
