Block and tackle balance hardware

Handy Person from Elkhorn, WI
I need to order a replacement block and tackle balance device for a tilt-in window made by Republic. From your website and the dimensions of the old device I believe I need

26" Series 770 Balance Product Code: S770-26

With a

Rivet, 3/32" x 39/64" Product Code: 62-005

And a

Rivet Installation Tool Product Code: 75-075

However, the one I am replacing is stamped 26G and the options on your website are only B-D. Please advise if you carry a 26G with a rivet for an S-clip on one end and a (Terminal clip Product Code: 15-043) to connect to the pivot shoe.

Thanks for posting, David! I agree that your balance resembles our Series 770, but this Series doesn't usually take an S clip. It would just screw into the jamb. Are you sure that's what you need? Could I see what the other end of the balance looks like?

I read in another discussion that using the rivet is a way to retrofit the S770 to receive a short s-clip. see photo for the top end of the old part. My question is about the "G" rating since your parts list doesn't go that high.

Alright, thank you. That should be everything we need.

Looks like we have a custom balance on our hands. The 26G option is special, plus we'll have to remove the screw plug that comes standard with the Series 770 and replace it with a rivet as shown in your image. 

With that said, I'm going to email you a purchase link and price quote for your review. You can use this to place an order on our website.

This part arrived yesterday and it worked perfectly!! The window glides up and down better than it ever has since we've owned the house.

Thank you Swisco!
