I tried using your online inquiry twice but keep getting failure notices, so I am trying this method.
I have 2 33" Window Balances that are broken.
I removed one to measure. Can you please assist me in proper identification?
Stamped # is 32DS42. The window balance is 33" long with a 1-1/8" shoe measurement. All information on the internet is pushing me towards a 32" window balance size. The window is about 5-6' tall and about 3' wide and very heavy.
Thank you for reaching out to us. If the metal channel is measuring 33" long then you would want a 33" long balance. It's hard to say from these photos but it looks like your top fitting is winged; please correct me if I'm wrong. If it is indeed winged. I recommend the S395-33 channel balance.
Your 32DS42 stamp is heavy-duty duty and the last number indicates the sash weight. With that in mind, the 3270 or 3275 stamp option ought to work. For example, a pair of balances with the 3270 stamp will support a sash weighing 39 to 42 pounds and a pair of balances with the 3275 stamp will support a sash weighing 42 to 45 pounds. However, I suggest you weigh the sash on a scale to ensure it doesn't round up or down since these types of heavy-duty stamps aren't always accurate.
