Thanks for writing in. Earlier mill-work companies that made wood sash windows used our 5/8" Non-Tilt Spiral balance, the Series 500.

I just have another comment. I was looking at the bracket T 14 and in the description it says for the series 400 spiral balance for wood windows.

Thanks

Yep, those are for our Series 400. That's only 3/8" in diameter though, and we don't recommend a skinny balance like that for wood windows. They tend to be pretty heavy and the Series 400 often struggles to hold up the weight. For the Series 500, we recommend a bracket like our 17-012.
