I have 2 windows which are identical in size, both with broken springs. the u-channels are 16.25 inches in length .5 inches wide. the number stamped on the u channel is "4240" I see the 16.25 assemblies but which is correct with the "4240" stamp.

Thank you,
Fritz

Thanks for posting! I'm not sure. Your stamp is a little different. If you're 100% sure the S745-16 is what you have, I recommend weighing your sash on a scale and referring to the chart we show on the S745-16 store page.

Hi, thanks. I weighed the window pane on a postal scale and got about 25#. So would the stamp option be the 15.25-6?

Thank You,

I'm afraid the 15.25-6 balance won't support that kind of sash weight. However, it is also the heaviest available spring strength they make for it. Can you triple check the weight of the sash?
