broken balances for 1999 vintage non-tilt sash window

Question

I'm looking to replace the balances on an original window in our 1999-built home. I believe it is a non-tilt sash window (vertical slide) and appears to have spiral balances.

Any help/advice you could offer would be most welcome.

Thanks! - Jeff

Hello,

We can't be sure of what you need with the hardware still installed but you can start by comparing the dimensions of the 15-046 to your part removed from the window. If it's a match, see the S600 spiral balance, which is commonly used with the 15-046 pivot shoe.

Also, please note that the fact that your window has pivot shoes indicates that this is a tilt window since the shoe is what allows the sash to pivot inward for cleaning. Thank you!
