Replacement window balance

Question

This will be for a single hung, non-tilting sash. Only identifying marks are 2790 30. The metal portion of the channel is 1/2" wide, 28 1/16" long. The attachment that hooks onto the window frame is a tab with a triangular hooked tip. Looking through the catalog, it appears to be a Series 351, but the bottom shoe on mine measures 1 1/16" between the 351 and 390 series'. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

If the depth of your bottom fitting is more than 1", I would recommend the S390-28 since the fitting can wear down a bit over time. You could also check the depth of a balance fitting from another window to confirm.

You'll also need to weigh your sash to determine which option you'll need. There is a chart on the product page that explains how to choose your option based on the sash weight. Thank you.
