This standard duty CRL Tubular Spiral Balance for Non-Tilt Windows will replace a 9/16" diameter (14 mm) metal or plastic tube balance with a sash load capacity of up to 25 pounds (11.3 kg). This unit will also replace spiral balances with a white bushing. While this balance is packaged and sold individually, it is our recommendation that both balances in the window be replaced at the same time.
