Spiral Balance help

A handy person from Singer Louisiana says:

I have some 20 year old M&I Windows series 300 with spiral window balance failures. They are 36" X 72" single hung non tilting. Didn't understand exactly how they worked at first but now think I can change them. They are 30" long and 3/8" diameter. Not sure what the color the tip was. I would need several balance rods but have a question. ?Do all of the window balance systems use a separate bracket at the bottom of the window? Joe Bond

Thanks for posting. Can you confirm the diameter of your balance's outer tube? As long as it's 3/8", then you can use our Series 400 spiral balance with a red tip color option. Look this part over and let me know if you had any questions.

Thanks for the info. Do you have the spring balance tool to install this balance? Joe

Sure, that'd be the 75-005. This tool should work perfectly well with our Series 400.
