How to calculate / choose the correct balance

1. Weight the window sash (The window sash is the part of the sliding window that moves up and down, it includes the frame and glass.)
2. Divide the weight in half, this is for 1 side of the window
3. Select 2 of the weights needed, Coil Balances should always be replaced in pairs. Example: IF the window sash weights 24 pounds. You would need 2 -12 pound coils, 1 on each side of the window.

NOTE: The window sash is the part of the sliding window that moves up and down, it includes the frame and glass.

Coil Number: Number and letters (i.e. “7E” on first coil, “7EL” on second coil, “7EXL” on third coil ). A triple coil with 3- 7's will support a window weight of 39–40 pounds in pairs.

Color of Stripe: Color of stripe depends on combination of coils.
