Hello,

Thanks for writing in to us! Your balances appear to be the discontinued crossbow style balance. These have been converted to use our Series 795 Channel Balances.

To confirm that these balances will be a situatable replacement, you'll need to confirm the dimeter of the spring tube. This measurement should be 1/2"; please let me know if it is 3/8" as this will need to be a custom assembly.

When obtaining the length of the balance, you'll need to use an undamaged balance. If you do not have one, I'll need to know the measurement for the height of the visible glass, only the glass you can see. Please also confirm the dimension for the width of the bottom shoe.

The last piece of information I'll need is the exact weight of the window. Unfortunately, I would not be able to confirm if the sash weight is 16lbs and it would be best not to guess the weight to ensure that the balances are not too strong for the window.

Take a look at the video below for instructions on this balance conversion and the information you'll need to determine the correct balances. Let me know if you have any questions.

In regard to the pivot bar, take a look at the 26-021 2-1/2" Pivot Bar. This is the pivot bar most commonly used with the shoes compatible with the Series 795 Channel Balance.
