26-200 Balance Screw Plug

I need a spiral balance rod and shoes for a window. Tube is 5/8" in diameter and 29" long. Can you help me?

So we have Patriot Windows. I need the anchors that the balance string screws into the window frame. Also need one or two Tilt Latches Left and Right Side

It looks like your Series 850.....but the top on mine is NOT like what your shows. On mine: The black shoe is 1.25" wide and the rod's over all length is 24.5". It is ONLY the top connector that is different on yours vs. mine. Keith

Hello, The part I need help Identifying is the first attached photo (2E07A455-B...).

We have 9 ea ply gem single hung aluminum windows. They all need tilt balance replacement parts (18 in total). All windows are the same size.

As you can see, the channel that the tilt spiral balance should be installed is damaged (in original installation 22 years ago - not me). If I insert a balance screw plug, it would pop out the top. Would you suggest an expanding foam filler above to anchor it in place? I could lower the screw hol ... (cont.)

I think I have sent you a picture of the parts. The balance spring and rod that the window slides up and down on to keep the string taut is broken. When we lift the window up, it falls down. We have to put in a brace. We think one of the white plastic parts may be broken. I can send more pictur ... (cont.)

n my shopping cart I have a spiral balance, 23" (qty=2), among others. In the window side channel where it goes, at the top, there's a hole where the spiral balance is screwed onto, except that the screw hole is square. I think a plastic square peg with round screw hole was fitted there which is n ... (cont.)

The plastic insert in the top of the window fell in the channel and I was unable to retrieve it. Please add a caution to be careful not to knock it out. Do you have a replacement piece or solution for this?

This pops into a square hole at the top of the side track area of the window. It holds the screw fhat secures the spiral window balance. What is it called and where can I get replacements?

When replacing the spiral balance, I had a problem of fixing it. There' was a white plastic block that fits into the opening shown in the image where the screw goes in. It was broken and gone. How can I find that piece?

I'm looking for the plastic mounting clips that snap into a 1/4" x 1/4" hole to fasten the top of a spiral window balance. The clips have retainer snaps on two of the sides to hold them into the hole.

Hi, On 30.5 series 850 crossbow balance, does it come with a plastic clip instead of metal at the top? The one I have is plastic and it doesn't require any screw, but have a hole for a plastic clip. And the hole is little bigger than the screw size. If replace with metal one you have, and I need to ... (cont.)

Trying hard to match up replacement balances for really poor quality builder's windows. Hopefully you'll be able to help. If so, I'm playing handyman for a couple of neighbors too.

I'm looking for the plastic piece that the screw tightens to, if that makes sense, I have the 600 series

The picture is of the clip holding the sash cord at the top left of the window as viewed from the inside. The sash cord is attached to the block and tackle balance assembly at the bottom. It looks like most of the balance assemblies I saw on here are actually screwed in but mine hang from the top of ... (cont.)

The black block on the bottom of the balance is 1 1/4W x 1 1/2H The assemble length is 34 1/2 in. The only difference I really see is the way the sting fastens t ... (cont.)

We had a replacement window installed due to the glass pane freezing then getting lots of sunlight. (?) Finally when Mr. Maillard replaced the entire window, I found the window would not stay up. He did not seem to know what the problem was although he bills himself as a "window" man. I remov ... (cont.)
