Vintage Spiral Tube Window Balance for Tilt Windows

Purchasing Agent from Orlando, FL
Hello,

We are replacing the spiral tube windows balances for vintage windows measuring 5/8" diameters and 31" tubes. They are the old vintage ones. Do the updated spiral tubes work in lieu of the vintage ones?

Hello,

Based on your photo, you may need the S500 spiral balances. Take a look at the (5/8") S500-31 balance, along with the related hardware and videos. You'll also need to check the colored tip at the base of the tube to choose the corresponding color option for your replacements. Thanks for posting.

The S500-31 blue tip balances are commonly used with the 17-012 mounting brackets. We also offer the 75-005 charging tool for installation.
