Hi there David.

I believe your balance is a match for our Series 770. This comes attached with the 15-043 terminal clip which anchors to the pivot shoe. However, your stamp is a little off. Can you weigh the window sash on a scale and tell us what you find? We'd also like for you to confirm the length of the metal channel.

Thank you!

Yes, that is correct! From there I can determine which stamp is best for your window.

Hi Emily The windows weigh 10 + lbs and the aluminum balance with stamped number is 22". Hope this helps and you can get back to me on what to buy-- Thanks so much for your help. David

Thank you, David! Since the metal channel is 22" long, I recommend the S770-22. Were you able to get the precise weight of the sash by chance? If 10 pounds is the exact weight, you could choose either the 22A or 22B stamp option.

A pair of balances with the 22A stamp can support a sash weighing 5 to 10 pounds, and a pair of balances with the 22B stamp can support a sash weighing 10 to 16 pounds.

I'll be here if you have any questions!
