Atrium spiral balance
I need help identifying the color tip for a replacement spiral balance. I have an atrium tilt window. I have measured the length at 28" and width at 3/8". However, the color tip is hard to tell. I could guess and say its yellow, but I want to make sure before I ordered.

spiral balance replacement
Thanks for posting! When measuring your length, make sure to only measure the tube--do not count the tip and the spiral protrusion in your measurements. If your balance still comes out to be 28-1/4", then we do recommend that you go with an even 28" length.
