To check the weight for the 24-3 replacement balance remove the window sash and put it on a scale.
The 2430 will carry a window sash load of 15 pounds through 19 pounds. This information is based on 2 balances per sash. Balances are designed assuming friction in the jamb weather-strip will carry a portion of the sash weight. Suggested sash weights are approximate. An 1820 will normally have a balance channel length of 19 inches (exclude the fittings in this measurement), the 1210 will measure 13 inches, and the 1720 will measure 18 inches. If you are unsure of your SWISCO balance series selection contact us again, we will need to see detailed photos with measurements of the balance style you are replacing. |
