Non tilt balance mechanisim ID

Question

Please provide link to the balancer shown. The window is a small bathroom window, not more than 6 pounds. Its metal channel is 15 inches and there are no stamped numbers I could find. Also need a couple new side clips that capture the upper plastic fitteng. The ones installed are severely rusted. Thank you!

Thanks for your photos. Based on what I see here, you have either our S380-27 or S385-27, depending on the depth of the bottom shoe. That's the only difference between them. I recommend measuring your shoe and referring to our dimensions to confirm the best match.

You mentioned that your sash is no more than 6 pounds, but I highly recommend getting a precise weight. You never want to estimate when it comes to balance calibration. There is a chart on each balance store page that tells you precisely how much weight each option supports. All you have to do is weigh your sash, regard the chart, and pick accordingly.

Lastly, you mentioned a side clip, but I don't know what that would be. Seeing a photo of it removed and without obstruction would be very helpful. Thank you!
