I think you're referring to the nylon string inside a channel balance. The string cannot be replaced by itself. You need the whole balance assembly. Take photos of the ends of the balance to show us, or use our channel balance guide to find the correct balance yourself.

Thanks for the photos! This is a Series 385 channel balance.

My sash window is 14.6 LBs. My old balance is 26 4 DP, so it's hard to pull down the window.

what stamp 263 or 264 should I Select?

Your old 2640/"26 4" option was too strong! Choose 2630 and you'll have an easier time with the window. That explains why the string broke; too much tension.
