Will S795-26 Replace my 26-5 Balance?

Question

The stamp on my window balance is 26-5. Can I order S795-26 for replacing? Which option should be (A.B.C.D.E.F.G)? S795-26 already included a 15-194 T-lock balance shoe, close cam and balance clip attachment in when ordered S795-26, right? Thank you.

Hello,

The S795-26 comes with the 1-1/4" wide 15-195 t-lock shoe. I would recommend removing your balance to confirm if you need the stock shoe or the smaller 1" wide 15-194 shoe. If so, you would need to purchase the 15-194 shoes separately and follow the video below to attach them.

You would also need to confirm if your balances use a screw tab at the end of the pulley cord like the S795 or if it uses a hook like the 15-198, which would need to be custom ordered.

As for your stamp option, a 26-5 stamp would normally correlate to the 26E strength option to support a sash weight between 26-30 lbs. Take a look and see what you think.
