Houston balance and pivot bars

Thanks for contacting us! Did you only need the pivot bar and balance shoe? if so, see our 26-040 and 15-195, respectively. I think these can work for you. However if you needed an all new balance, then yours will have to be custom made. Let me know.

Sure, it should be possible to install the 15-198 yourself. You'll need a vise to lock the channel so you can pull the cord out a few inches, then secure the cord with locking pliers to relieve the tension. That should allow you to swap the clips out. Just be careful when you undo the locking pliers, as the cord will be under a lot of tension. Hold it firmly, release the pliers, then gently let the cord retract into place. I highly recommend wearing safety goggles and gloves, just to be safe.

For a 30" X 20" insulated vinyl sash, we calculate the weight at 13.5 lbs. However, this is only an estimate.
