I have 2 single hung milgard vinyl windows that need new completed balancers . They measure 5/8 thick so not sure if that falls into the 1/2 thick product line. One pair is 29 inches ( in picture ) the other pair 26 inches. 29 5 CMC GW 11 and 26 5 CW CMC 11. Need plastic clips on each end , a complete balancer. Once you can confirm part # for me i will place order.

Thanks Paul

With this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380 or S385 channel balance. You’ll need to measure as shown below. The Series 380 has a 1" bottom attachment, and the Series 385 has a 1-3/32" attachment. 

The balances with a 29 5 (2950 option) strength stamp should have a 30" long metal channel and the 26 5 (2650 option) balances should measure 27".

Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
