Gray tip spiral balance

Handy Person from Virginia
Ordered S900-29 red tips recently and these worked perfectly. Came across a window in this job which was bigger and had 35 inch spiral balance with a gray tip.

Do I order the 35 inch black tip?

Never mind,
I see there are a few Spiral balances each 35" long, each with a double row of pins, and each with a different color tip. Best approach as you state in other answers is to weigh panel and use that as the determining factor.

Awesome, glad to hear you were able to figure it out. You are correct: when in doubt, weigh the sash. Every manufacturer likes to use different color tips, and even those colors fade with time, but hard numbers never lie.
