Trying to order the correct channel balance.....

Question

Hello, I am in need of two replacement channel balances and I know they are 1/2" Series 700 for a non-tilt window and are 27" long but I'm unsure of which spring weight to order. The stamp number is 163. I will attach 3 photos....one of a similar balance that is the same but shorter....one is of the 163 stamp.....and the other is the manufacturer sticker from an identical window. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Many thanks for your correspondence. For your S700-27 Channel Balance, your spring weight code of (163) is equivalent to our stamp option of 2630. This will hold a sash weight in the range of 13 through 19 lbs. The (163) was a Japan spring weight code used a long time ago.
