Top sash guide and channel balance
I would also like to know the channel balance replacement part for my existing channel balance. The channel balance marking is 17 2
Thanks for writing in! We do not have an exact match for the top sash guide you have but our 18-009, 18-064, and 18-166 could possibly work for your repairs. Take a look over each of their dimensions on the website to determine which of them might be the best fit.
Your channel balances look like they can be replaced with either the S380-18 or the S385-18 with a 1720 stamp option (two 18" balance will support a sash weighing 8 to 12lbs). You'll need to confirm the depth of your shoe to determine the correct replacement.
Keep in mind, there is a chance it could measure 7/8"; if so, please let me know, since you will need a different balance.
Thanks for your quick response.
I think I will order a pair of all three of the top sash guides you referenced and see which one fits best. Are they sold as a pair or individually?
The depth of the balance shoe is 1 inch, so the S380 channel balance appears to be the appropriate replacement.
Thanks so much for your help!
Okay, great! I'm glad to hear the S380 is the correct fit. The top sash guides are sold separately.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any future hardware repair questions you might have.
Have a great day!
