Channel Balance which one and size

Handy Person from Lexington, KY
I think I need Series 395 Channel Balances. It is 34" for just the metal piece, so not sure what size I need. See pictures.
Has marking of 3350 on the side.

Do I need balance shoe and top or do they come attached?

This broke I think partly because of the weight of the window. Would it be ok to go up from 3350 to 3360?

Thanks for using SWISCO for your hardware needs. As long as the bottom balance shoe depth is 1-1/8", you could go with our S395-34 channel balance. I know you mentioned that the stamping on your balance is "3350" which hold a sash of 28-32 pounds. This may have not been strong enough for your sash, hence why it broke. Let's have you weigh your window sash on a scale and get back to us with that number. From there, we can get back to you with some additional information.

The sash weighs between 30-31 lbs.
The shoe is 1 1/8"

In that case, I'd recommend out S395-34 with a 3350 option based on your sash weight. Let us know if you have any more questions.
