Product Description
This is a series 795 block and tackle balance for tilt windows that moderates the operation of your window sash. It uses a specifically calibrated counter-balance system that allows the window to stay open when raised and remain shut when closed.
- The metal channel is 24" long and 9/16" wide, though it's considered 1/2" wide in the trade.
- Comes fully assembled with a top screw clip and bottom 15-195 T-Lock Balance Shoe with a Closed Cam. All other shoe styles are sold separately.
- Used by International and other manufacturers.
- All window balances are sold individually, not in pairs
- Can work for either the left or right side of the window interchangeably.
- Spring strength is denoted by the stamp option printed on the metal channel. If you do not have a stamp option, weigh the sash on a scale and refer to the chart below.
| Stamp Option | Sash Weight Range |
|---|
| A | 6 to 11 lbs |
| B | 11 to 17 lbs |
| C | 17 to 22 lbs |
| D | 22 to 25 lbs |
| E | 25 to 28 lbs |
*This information is based on 2 balances per sash. Balances are designed
assuming friction in the jamb weather-strip will carry a portion of the sash
weight. Suggested sash weights are approximate.
Good Idea!
Balances are sold individually, however, it is a good idea to replace both window balances at the same time. Pairing a new balance with an old one would cause the new balance to wear out faster.
Helpful Tip!
The stamp option is a code that indicates how much weight a pair of balances can support. You can use the stamp on your original channel balance as a reference in most cases, or you can weigh your sash and refer to the chart above. If your sash's weight falls outside the weight ranges listed on that chart, or you are still unsure how to proceed,
ask our experts for help.
