Hello,

It sounds like you may be referring to the take out clip, such as the16-002. Review the specifications below to confirm they match your part.

The window balance resembles the S385-26. You'll need to confirm the 1-3/32" deep bottom fitting matches yours. The spring stamp strength options would be (2550) for a sash weighing between 25-28 lbs. Take a look and let us know if you need anything else.

HI Paul 
 
Thanks for getting back to me!
 
I need the balance itself. 
 
The balance measures about 25inches (only the metal part), so does the S385-25 have the same length?. Could you please help identity? 
as to the bottom depth i'll measure and get back to you tomorrow.
 
Thanks!

sorry i measured it again, it is 26in long.
 
and the bottom depth looks like 1-2/32", so i think it should be the same as 1-3/32"?

The bottom fitting can wear down a bit over time but you should be good to go with the S385-26 as long as the shoe measures over 1" deep.
