Balances needed
My existing balances are 36" and say 36C BS1 on them. I assume I would need the 795 Balance 36" long.
My existing cams are Open cams 1 1/4" shoe width.
My exitsting pivot bars are the same measurements as the 26-021 so I would need those.
Can you please confirm the parts I would need.
Also, what type of lubricant should be used? I just tried Blaster Silicone Lubricant on two windows and they are even squeakier than before.
Thanks for writing in! It appears that you've selected the correct replacements for your balances. Although the open cam shoe is sold separately as part 15-195B. Take a look at the video below for an idea on how to swap them out.
You'll also want to confirm the attachment from the top of your balance and the shape of the hole it attaches to. If it is circular in shape, you'll need a custom assembly.
As for lubricating your balances, the best solution is to use a silicone based spray. If they are still squeaking, it may mean there is still debris in the window channel or the balances need to be replaced.
Does the 795 balance come with instructions?
Does the 795 balance include new pivot bars?
Yes, the difference between the attachments is whether it screws or hooks into the window channel. Since your screws in, you'll need the S795-36 with a 36C stamp and you'll need to purchase the 15-195B shoe separately.
The pivot bars are also sold separately from the assembly, so you'll need to remember to add those to the cart along with the balance and the shoe.
For instructions on removing/installing these balances, take a look at the video below; starting at the 3 minute and 14 second mark.
