Channel Balance Numbers?

Quick Learner from Port Orange, Fl.
I have measured the channel = 1/2
I believe I have identified top = 19-002
I believe I have identified bottom = 15-002
Measured length as per illustration = 22"

My Balance has a 21 12 BSI stamped on it. It doesn't match any of your listings.
What should I be ordering? I will need four when I get around to it.

Thank You.

That is an odd stamp number.
Please remove the window sash and place it on a scale to get the window sash weight in pounds.

Next, look up the weight on the following Balance Stamp/Weight Table:

Stamp Option Sash Weight Range
2110 5 to 8 lb
2120 8 to 12 lb
2130 12 to 15 lb
2140 15 to 23 lb
2150 23 to 27 lb

*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.

I removed the window sash. (Which I am understanding to be the lower window.) I put it on my bathroom scale. It weighed 35.8 lbs. I see NO part number close to that weight class. So I measured the window sash. It is 50" X 25". It is a double pain thermal window bought at either Home Depot or Lowe's not too many years ago. Can't remember which and can't find receipt. Please help. I will be needing four as they are a pair in the front of my home.

We can custom make a balance for you with a 2170 stamp option. Two balances with that stamp can carry a window sash weight range of 34 through 37 pounds. I'll go ahead and email you a purchase link and price quote for your review.
