Spiral balance tip color
I have 2 windows with spiral balances 1 34", 1 20" Both have yellow tips but you only offer yellow tips in the 34" The smaller window weighs 14lbs. Does it matter which tip (red or blue) I buy as a replacement?

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)

Spiral balance replacement
Hey guys! I purchased a home that was built in 2002. All the windows are very heavy to open or will not stay up. As much as I would love to replace them I feel that I would get better bang for my buck rebuilding them with quality parts. What do I need to repair them?

spiral balancer
I have a spiral balancer that is larger than 3/8 but just shy of 1/2" I am assuming i would need to go with 3/8" however the tip is red and that is not one of your options if i select a 3/8" tube. also, my length is 34.25". do i go with 34" or 35" Thanks, Sam
