Window channel balance

Question

Hello! I'm trying to figure out what channel balances I need to replace my old ones.

The measurements are 1/2" width, and I *think* 32" length, but it seems like it might be just slightly under that (see photo).

I also found a series of letters and numbers etched into the balances starting with 3130 (see photo).

Thanks!

Hello! We can absolutely supply this balance, but it has to be a custom order due to its configuration. What you have here is a special "extended travel" channel balance, named for its unique block and tackle setup. To go even further, yours is the rivetless variety. That means the bottom nylon fitting plugs into place instead of riveting on, like you'd see on other balances.

Suffice to say, this is a special setup, but it's still very routine and I have no doubt at all that we can help. The only thing you may want to check is the length of the metal channel: based on your stamp, it should be 31-7/8".

If you want to move forward with this, please tell me how many you wanted to buy. I can then email you a purchase link and price quote that will let you add that quantity to your cart. Otherwise, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
