Channel Balance Stamp Options

Hello! If your original stamp doesn't match any of ours, then the best way to determine which of our options will work is to weigh the window sash on a scale and pick from our weight chart.

For your reference, the stamps available for the S751-25 are as follows:  

  • The 24R will carry a sash weight range of 10 through 18 pounds
  • The 24HD will hold 18 through 22 pounds
  • The 24TG will hold 22 through 30 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.

I am looking for Window Channel Balance replacments. From your web site I have identified "25" Series 751 Channel Balance". However the options you offer are 24tg, 24hd, and 24r. My channels are stamped with just "24". Can I use one of the other options?

I have an old RIVCO window with existing balances labeled both 24Q and 24R. Is the S751-25 - 24R the correct balance?
Does the balance come with instructions on how to replace it in the channel?
Can I also get the pieces that attach to the sash that fit into the shoes? Some of those were plastic and are broken as well.

24Q is unfortunately not a stamp that I'm familiar with. I think the safe option would be to weigh your sash on a scale, as described above. If your sash weight falls within the 10 through 18 pound range, then the 24R stamp will work perfectly well for your application.

The window balance I have to replace has 24HDK, does the K mean I need something special, or can I use just the 24HD?

No, the K in your stamp shouldn't mean anything essential. I believe that our 24HD stamp will suffice in this case, but you can always weigh your sash to verify.
