Length, not including plastic attachments is 16". I need to order a replacement set.

Based on your photos, I think you might have a match for our S390-16 channel balance. This has a 19-001 top and 15-001 bottom nylon fitting. As long as those match up then I think it will work well.

They are slightly different, but I think it's fine. Yours was probably just made by a different manufacturer. I would worry more about the dimensions. That will be what ultimately determines whether our balance can replace yours.

The channel balance looks correct! The top and bottoms don't visually look like the ones on my existing balances. I am attaching 5 additional close-up photos of each plastic attachment. Please confirm. Thank you.

Tom, how do I know whether to get the 1510, 1520, etc. I see its based on weight including friction of the jam itself. Its a fairly small kitchen window. I'd guess 1530 but don't want to under/over size it, is there any rule of thumb? Thank you for your help on this by the way.

Since your old stamp is 15-4, I would recommend the 1540 stamp option. If you have any doubts, you can always weigh your sash on a scale and refer to the chart we show on the S390-16 store page.
