window tube balance

Quick Learner from New Jersey
Hi - i'm looking to replace a tube balance (or maybe a pair) in a window that keeps sliding down. the tube is 29 1/2 inches long, and has a blue tip. Should i submit a photo or is that enough information? Thanks.

Thanks for posting! Can you also tell me what the diameter of the tube is? I would also like to know if the window is tilt or non-tilt.

Great. It sounds like you may have our Series 600 spiral balance with a blue tip. However, we do not have these balances on the half inch, in terms of length. I think you might have to go with either 29" or 30", but I'm not sure which. What is the full length of the inside spiral?

Paul - the inside spiral is 30 inches - actually just a hair under 30.

Great. In that case, I recommend that you use the S600-30 spiral balance with a blue tip.

Final question before i order. I'm thinking I also need to order your 75-033 . seems this is needed for proper installation, correct? Thanks Paul.

Not a problem, I was glad to help!

Yes, our 75-033 will work with the S600-30. You may also want to look at our 75-006.

Be sure to check out our handy tutorial video that shows the proper way to charge your balance using these tools.
