I have broken Sash balance, label: 19 2 EP Caldwell with wings
Length: 18”
I think this part from Swisco should work, just want to make sure:
Product Code: S395-18
18" Series 395 Channel Balance
Option: 1710

Hey Jan. Both attachments have 'wings' or side tabs, whereas Series 395 balances only have wings on the top attachment. So I think this is either an S380-18 or S385-18, depending on the depth of the bottom attachment. See below.

Comparison of the S378, S380 and S385 balance shoes.

The stamp is unusual for an 18" balance. Could you double-check the channel length, not including the nylon attachments at both ends? If it is in fact 18", it's possible these balances were cut to fit your window properly. To choose the correct stamp option, it would be best to weigh the window sash these balances support. You can use that weight to choose the right stamp code.

Hi Bob! Thank you very much for your answer. I actually measured them wrongly, they are in fact 20" and since I had a spare one which I've purchased from SWISCO 2 years ago, I was able to order 3 more: Window Sash Balances 20" S385-20 - 20" Series 385 Channel Balance Option: 1910
All the best and thanks again, you guys rock, looking forward to receive these items!
