Hello, I need three new balances for my Viking vinyl windows. They are about 12 years old. the part number on the old balances is #1740. alo, I need an extra clip that sits in the window channel and holds the balance when removing the window.

Thanks very much.

Thanks for posting. Sounds like you have an 18" block & tackle balance with a stamp option of 1740. Now you just need to pick out the top and bottom fittings in order to determine the Series.

I recommend that you look at our Channel Balance Home Page and follow the steps in order to find the Series that best matches what you have.

Yes, it's an 18" block and tackle balance. According the Channel Home Page Chart, it has a #19-005 top, and a 15-002 shoe. Is this possible?

Yes, it is! It'll just have to be a custom order. I'll go ahead and email you a purchase link and price quote for your review.

You may also want to confirm that you have the 15-002 shoe and not the 15-001 shoe. Though they are different sizes, they look very similar and customers have confused them in the past. Compare their dimensions to your own shoe to see which is closer. If you have the 15-001 instead, let me know and I can revise the quote.

OK, It's very hard to tell a difference but, I suppose it's a 15-001 shoe.
So I need two 18" block and tackle balances with a 19-005 top and a 15-001 shoe. Also, I need one of the shiny metal channel clips, that pop out of the channel and hold the balance when removing the window.
Thank you

Great! I'm glad we double checked that. I will revise the quote right now.

As for the take-out clip, see our 16-002.
