Tilt Window Balance Replacement - TRACO

Landlord from Pittsburgh, PA
Hello,
I need to replace tilt window balances for a TRACO double hung aluminum window.

This is for the top sash of the window.

There are two balances on each side of the window, one large diameter and one small diameter per side. All 4 are broken, so I need a total of 4 balances. I believe they are white. See image for more detail. They are 17" long.

Thank you.

Thanks for posting. It's not necessarily odd for a window to have two balances on each side, but it is strange for them to have two different diameters. I've never seen a setup like this before. I guess if it works, it works. See our Series 900 spiral balance for the 3/8" diameter balance and the Series 600 for the 5/8" diameter balance.

Thank for the reply.

The Series 600 and 900 come in two colors, red and blue.

I guess what I have looks to be white and grey. Which tips would you suggest to best match what I have?

Your tip colors follow an old rating system that has since fallen out of use. It's possible one of our modern tip colors can still work, but you will need to weigh your sash on a scale and refer to the charts we show to confirm the best choice.
