Window Balancer

A quick learner says:

I need to try and locate a window balancer for a window I have. Please refer to the images below.

it is a non tilt



The diameter appears to be 7/16"



The length is 26"



There is no tip, which I think is part of the problem.

Hello,

We'd be happy to help but we can't be sure of what you need without seeing an undamaged balance with an intact spiral end. With that being said, you can start by looking over the S400-26 and S500-26 spiral balance. The determining factors would be if your housing tube has a diameter of 3/8" or 5/8". 7/16" is closer to 3/8" but I would recommend double-checking your measurement to confirm. You'll also need to check an intact balance from one of your windows to confirm that it uses the same cross style shown below.

Once you determine the correct spiral balance series, you'll also need to weigh your sash and follow the chart under the balance product description to choose the corresponding tip color. Take a look and let us know if you have any other questions.
