Non-Tilt Window Channel Balances are determined by the combination of nylon fittings. Do both fittings have wings, or 'side tabs'? If so, you need either a Series 380 or Series 385 Channel Balance. The only difference between these two balances is the depth of the bottom nylon shoe, or the 'heel-to-toe' measurement, so compare both with your old hardware to see what matches best. See the image below, and see the video below that shows how to further narrow down these balances.
