Spring Balancer

A friend from Guelph, Ontario says:

Hi,

I bought S140-20 balancer (quick-Tilt, dual) that do not fit to my window. It is wrong size and wrong type. I may have to return them (order number is 1283475).

I took the old balancer out per attached picture.

I saw number like 1. 5353.5. The size is 100 mm (3.937") long x 30 mm (1.181") wide and 12 mm (0.492") thick.

Can you help to select a right part to use?

Thank you and best regards,

Jason

Jason, thank you for submitting your inquiry to our discussion board.

Based on your pictures, it looks like you have our 15-087 and 15-086 coil balance housings, which work with our Series 180 coils, which are sold separately.

You will need to remove the coils from the housing and look for the number stamped on the end to determine what the replacement weight is going to be.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Hi, Michael,

Thank you for the information!

I attached the pictures of the springs with the markings.

They are not very clear.

It looks like: CMC103, 35", 7# and a 7 stamped also.

Best Regards,

Jason

Hey, Jason. If your numbers are stamped with 7#, then you want the S180-7, which is the 7 pound option.
