Help with identifying a correct spiral balance

Question

Hi,

My father is installing 2 windows and somehow managed to misplace the spiral balances. I was hoping you could help me identify the right ones to use as a replacement. The fittings (on the photos) suggest a spiral balance with 4 rods at the end, similar to the ones on your website for the tilting windows. I am sure that the windows do not tilt, except during assembly/disassembly, hence I am a bit confused with all the different spiral balance options and was hoping you could help me with identifying the right ones.

The length I believe should be 26" (that is the measurement of the one half of frame, the upper part), the depth of the canal inside the frame is just under an inch (20 mm), which will suggest a diameter of the balance of 5/8" and the weight of the moving part of the window is 28.6 lbs (13 kg), which is very close to the limit of the series 600 26" red tip balance.

Also, he lives in Latvia, would it be possible to arrange a delivery of 4 of the spiral balances there?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

The nylon pivot shoes you show looks like our 15-046. I'm not sure what the function of the flat bars attached to them might be. Normally a pivot bar like our 26-040 is attached to the sash and the end is put in the pivot shoe cam. We've related some videos to provide you with more information.

The S600-26 spiral balance should work for this window. The red tip supports a sash weight between 7-29 pounds so you'll just need to compare the weight range to the weight of your sash. Thank you!
