27" Metal length.
1 3/32 depth of end
Photos attached Code looks to be 26-2 L05 CMC 77 as near as I can tell.
I have not weighed the window at this point.
Can you tell by the code the weight rating?

Thanks for your post! This balance is similar to the Series 385 Channel Balance with the 1-3/32" shoe but I'll need to see a photo of the spring side of the channel to confirm that this is the correct series. I am particularly looking to see a photo of the bracket connecting the spring and the string in the middle of the balance.

I wouldn't be able to confirm the exact weight range this stamp option can support, unfortunately. The best way to confirm would be the weigh the sash.

Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime!

More photos. Moving window assembly weighs 12.8 lbs total without any balances connected.

Thanks for the additional photos. The balance you have is a custom, 86 style Caldwell channel balance. I'll need to need to provide you with a quote to place the order for the balances.

To confirming pricing and availability, I'll just need to know the number of balances you'd like to purchase. The quantity minimum is (2) balances for custom assemblies.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions you might have!

an order of two should be sufficient for now. Since the windows are only 4 years old and we only have 2 that size. I was able to inspect the second window and the balances look to be fine. I think the one that failed had a defect which caused the cord to break prematurely.
Please let me know the cost, delivery time frame and how to place the order.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

Okay, great. Thanks for confirming. I've forwarded the quote for the balances to you email for review. The lead time for them will be 5 to 6 weeks, since we do not currently have them in stock.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
