Hello,

Thanks for reaching out! To determine the correct replacement for your existing balances, I'll need to know the measurement for the diameter of the tube. This dimensions should be either 3/8" or 5/8" (which is also considered 9/16" in the trade).

Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.

A quick learner says:
The tube is 3/8.


Thanks

Hi Horace,

Thanks for confirming this information. Your tilt window spiral balance can be replaced with the 3/8" S900-30. Since your sash weighs 26lbs, I would suggest using either the green tip or the yellow tip. 

The green tip will support a sash weighing 14 to 26lbs, while a yellow tip will support a sash weighing 24 to 34lbs. If the sash weighs slightly over 26lb, I would suggest using the yellow tip.

A quick learner says:
Let's go with your suggestion of the yellow tip.
