Hello,
My window balance is stamped 16A, does that mean the lowest 'weight' for sash of 5-8 lbs corresponding to a 1610?
Thanks, in advance.
PS I've already selected the channel rod 380 with the appropriate dimensions, just need a little help with the weight I should use.

Hello,
Typically yes, the 16A will translate to 1610. To check that this is the needed stamp, place the window sash on a scale to make sure it falls within the 5-8 pound weight range.
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.
