I need to order two channel balances for my window. The piece is 22 inches in length (not counting the plastic ends). The code on the side is 25 5 DV CMC 2.

Hello there!
You could have either our Series 380 or Series 385, depending on the depth of the bottom shoe. The Series 380 comes with a 1" deep shoe while the Series 385 comes with a 1-3/32" deep shoe. Take a look at the image below to determine which balance you'll need. You will also need the 2550 spring strength option based on your 25 5 stamp.
It's a bit odd that your balance's length is 22". Your 25 5 stamp indicates that your metal channel should measure as 26". We suggest triple checking that measurement, just to be safe.

Comparison of the S378, S380 and S385 balance shoes.
