Channel Balance, I think?

Question

I've been trying to get my windows replaced for three months here in Canada... While I've had luck finding someone to re-install the glass, nobody seems to have the channel balance I've attached in this email.

It's 1/2" x 39" and I'm just not sure if I could replace this sash with any of those on your website that fit the same description. I've read some articles about the parts number indicating the load that the channel balance can take...

Any advice here would be fantastic.

Thank you so much for having such a helpful website. Great tutorials.

Thanks for posting, Jack. We may be able to help, yes. However, your image only shoes the bottom shoe and stamp of the balance. I do not see the top attachment, so I cannot tell you what Series this is.

Check out our Selection of 1/2" Wide Non-Tilt Window Channel Balances and carefully compare the nylon attachments installed on your balance to each of the Series found under that section. Do any of these match?

Also, be sure to see our video on how to install this kind of balance.
