How to Order Tubular Spiral Window Balances
1. To select the proper Tubular Spiral Balance, check diameter of the metal or
plastic tube on the old balance: 9/16 inch is Series "FJ"; 3/8 inch is Series
"FM" or "FR", depending on the fitting at the end of the rod.
2. Measure Tube Length only; do not include rod length.
3. Check color of Nylon Bushing. If White or Red, select a Standard Duty
Balance; If Blue, select a Heavy Duty Balance.
4. Verify if fitting on rod protruding from the Nylon Bushing matches an
illustration for Non-Tilt Type Balances. Select the appropriate series ("FM" or
"FR") if balance diameter is 3/8 inch.
