Spiral balance tip color

A handy person from Oklahoma says:
I have 2 windows with spiral balances 1 34", 1 20"
Both have yellow tips but you only offer yellow tips in the 34"
The smaller window weighs 14lbs.
Does it matter which tip (red or blue) I buy as a replacement?

Hello! If your sash is 14 pounds, then either the Blue or Red tip will work for the S900-20.

I would also recommend weighing your sash for the 34" balance. It's possible that your tips were Red originally and became discolored over the years. It happens all the time.
