26 7 bsi window balance

Home Owner from Greenville, South Carolina
I saw the stamp on the balance saying 26 7 BSI. But the measured length is 27 inches. Which one should I order, S795-26E or S795-27E?

Hello there. If the metal channel is 27" long, you absolutely want the S795-27. Some older versions of this balance just used a different stamp system. To know what stamp option to select for the replacement balances, it's best to weigh the window sash the balances support to be safe. You can use that exact weight to choose the right stamp option.

See the guide below that goes into further detail as to how to replace these balances.
