Thanks for contacting us. Your balance closely resembles both our Series 351 and Series 390. The only difference between these two balances is the depth measurement of the bottom balance show. The depth of the bottom balance shoe for the Series 351 is 1" and for the Series 390 is 1-1/8. You will need to measure the depth of your bottom shoe, like in the diagram below to determine which of the two would make the better match. For the balance marked with "2220", you want to confirm the metal length of the balance measures 23". The one marked with "2320", confirm the metal length to be 24". And lastly, the one marked with "28 3" confirm the balance to be 29" in length. Whichever balance chosen will use a 2220, 2230, and 2830 options to correlate with your stampings. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Comparison of the S351 and S390 balance shoes.

It looks to me like the new balance is too long. A 2220 stamp indicates a metal channel length of 23". Reviewing your prior two posts, I don't see any mention of how long your old metal channels are. Can you confirm that they're 23"? The "30" in the 2230 stamp is not a measurement, it just denotes the strength of the spring. Two balances with a 2230 stamp can carry a sash weighing 12 through 19 pounds, as indicated on the chart on our S351-23 store page. May I ask, why did you choose to go with the 2230 stamp instead of the original 2220 stamp? That wouldn't cause the balance to stick out at the bottom, but it may affect how difficult the window is to open and close. |
