27 4 KU CMC 3 channel balances

Home Owner from Avondale, AZ

I have a Jordan window on which both the channel balances are unattached. They are 28" plus the plastic pieces on both ends, one black and one white. The only identification on the rail is 27 4 KU CMC 3

Hopefully you can tell me what 2 channel balances I need and how to install.

Depending on the bottom attachment, this is a Series 351 or Series 390 channel balance. Measure up and choose one. Series 351 has the thinner 1" shoe, and Series 391 has the thicker 1-1/8" shoe:

Your balance length will be 28" and you will want to consider a 2740 stamp option for window sashes weighing between 19 and 26 pounds. Weigh the sash if you're unsure.

Hi Ben,
We do have the series 351 and the sash weighs a little over 23 pounds.
Please tell me more about the 2740 stamp option.
How much are the new channels and how soon could you ship them to me?
Thank you,
Paul

The S351-28 2740 holds 19 to 26 pounds, so it's perfect for your 23 pound sash. You don't really need to question it any further than that, but here's some more info, if you're curious.

Basically, the "27" is correlated to the height of the piece of glass that shows through the sash, and the "40" means that you need not the 1st-, 2nd-, or 3rd-weakest spring, but rather, the 4th-weakest. Let me know if anything else comes up!

The price is available on our site, and we offer "overnight" shipping which arrives in a single business day. You can check delivery dates and prices online.
