Spiral balancers

Question

This is a picture of the two balancers I took out of my tilt window.After measuring I came up with a 27 and1/2 inch tube and 28 and 1/2 spiral.The dimensions of the glass is 26 1/4 x 30 1/2 and weighs 18 lbs.The diameter of the tube is 3/8 inch.It also has a blue end which you should be able to see in the picture. What wood you recommend,since everything on your website is by the inch? Thanks

The plastic tube you show in your photos should actually measure closer to 5/8" diameter rather than 3/8". That said, I believe you can go with our S600-28 spiral balance with a blue tip that holds a sash weight of 12-31 pounds. Take a look to see if this is a match for you. The balance tubes we offer are metal, and not plastic. You may also want to consider going with our 75-006 charging tool to help with the new installation.
