Sash Weights for Spiral Bals
Hi, I have some large sashes that require a 34" spiral balance. I weighed the sashes and they were over 28lbs.

Replace spiral balance
Can't tell what type of window. Balance tube is 34 inches. Single hung aluminum. Sash does not appear to be removable. Probably need about 34 units IF they are changeable with the sashes installed. (Concerned about how to install bottom if sash cannot be removed)
