Non-tilt window channel balance

Home Owner from Culver City, CA
I have a non-tilting window with 2 channel balances. Looking for replacement balances.
1/2" wide
metal part 25" long
marking on the balance says "2490 2P" or "249O 2P"
2 pics of each end attached, top view and side view, plus pic of marking.

Thank you for your assistance!

Thanks for posting! Your channel balance can be replaced with either the S380-25 or the S385-25. To determine which of these is the right replacement, you'll need to confirm the depth of your bottom shoe. 

I was not able to cross-reference the stamp from your balances, so you'll need to obtain the exact weight of your sash to confirm the stamp you need. There is a chart below the product description of each balance that indicates the weight ranges each stamp can support.

Hello Jasmine,

Thank you for the reply. Does it matter that the balance top is a little different that the 380/385 balance top? They both have wings, but mine is squared off at the end while the 380/385 balance top is tapered at the end.

Hi Steven,

Yes, I did notice that. The difference in the design should not affect the function of the balance.
