I'm afraid that I cannot identify the hardware in your photos. They're just too blurry for me to make anything out. Can you take some clearer pictures for me to review? Can you also describe to me exactly what this is and what its function is? |

Thanks! It looks like it might be a spiral balance for a non-tilt window. It's tough to say for sure. If I'm right, though, and if the spiral is 3/8" like you mentioned, then our S400-31 might be your best choice. Look it over and let me know if you agree. |
your right it does appear to be it but can you provide any info on installation i see nothing on line on what is needed or how to attach to bottom side.
Does the bottom sash need to be removed (not sure you can) in order to attach at bottom
TY

I'm afraid that these sashes cannot be removed, no. These were designed under the impression that customers would buy a whole new window if anything broke. This is obviously unfair, which is why we like to sell the balances for anyone who may need them. The bad news is that replacement isn't always easy because of this design. The only way to do it is to try to slide the balance behind the sash from the top. This could be simple or difficult depending on how much clearance you have. If clearance is really bad, you could try getting it in from the bottom, but I personally find the top to be easier in general. If you do get it in, you can then screw it in at the top, wind the balance 3-4 times with a charging tool like our 75-005, then attach the spiral to whatever hooks are installed at the bottom corners of the sash. |
