Identifying the right channel balance for a non-tilt window

Handy Person from Oregon
I need to order 4 sets of channel balances for 4 windows. The channel balance is 18" by 1/2". Attached are the pictures. Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for posting. Your balances look like our S380-18 and S385-18 channel balances. To determine which series you have, you'll need to confirm the depth of your bottom shoe. It should be either 1" or 1-3/32". Take a look at the diagram below for reference.

The stamp indicates the weight range your balances should be able to carry but I am unable to cross reference the stamp you have, unfortunately. Once you've determine the balance series, you'll need to obtain the exact weight of the window and then use the chart below the product description to determine which stamp you'll need to select.
