Spiral balance tip color

Home Owner from New Jersey
The tip on our balances is yellow. Your site does not show a yellow tip. What color would be comparable?

Thanks for posting! It will depend on what type of balance you have, and the weight of your window sash. To start out, please take a look at our Spiral Balance Home Page and follow the steps shown. To get the weight of your sash, simply remove it from the window and place it on a scale.

Once you determine what spiral balance you have, and your sash weight, let me know and we can work from there!

Thanks for getting back to us! It sounds like you're looking at the S900-30 spiral balance. Now, you will still need to weigh your window sash, don't forget. When you do, please compare it to the two standard color tip options for this balance:

The Red Tip can carry a window sash weight range of 10 through 22 pounds, while the Green Tip can carry a window sash weight range of 14 through 26 pounds. Does your sash's weight fall under either of these ranges? If so, that is the tip color you will want.
