33" Series 385 Channel Balance S385-33
option: 3240
This is shown with attached plastic ends, both with wings.
There are various options given, it seems that 3240 corresponds to the stamp 32-4 on my original broken Milgard sash balance.
Is this the correct replacement part for me? Should I also order new Take Out Clip
16-002 this looks the same as what I have,
What exactly is the role of these wings? There are other balances with plastic ends without wings. Do these wings facilitate sliding smoothly in the channel and protecting it from the sharp metal edges of the balance?
There are neighboring windows whose balances still work despite age and sun exposure for 20 years. Some of these windows don;t slide up/down smoothly. Should their balances be replaced?
Thanks
