CRL 33 in Window Sash Channel Balance 3220 (32-2) Replacement

• Measures 5/8" (16 mm) depth — commonly referred to in the trade as 1/2" (13 mm)
• Available in 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 weight-range balances, in channel lengths from 13" to 43" (330 mm to 1.09 m)

Each CRL FA Series 2/20 Weight Range Sash Balances requires nylon guides riveted to the top and bottom of the metal channel. Customers can order channel balances with guides pre-attached, or order guide kits (rivets included) and mount the guides themselves. CRL’s Cat. No. H3740 Rivet Set Tool properly mushrooms the rivet for a strong, permanent set — a useful accessory for in-field sash balance replacement and window repair jobs.

SKU: FA3220 — replacement FA Series sash balance for window channel repairs and sash balance restoration.

Ordering Tips for FA Series Sash Balances

Remove the existing channel balance from the window and measure the metal channel only (do not include the guides). Measurements should be full-inch increments. Always check the stamped or laser-etched identification on the back of the channel balance — this will be four numbers or two numbers and a letter (for example, 2710 or 27-2). Use that stamped number to match the CRL catalog number (for example, a full 18" channel stamped 1710 or 17-1 corresponds to CRL Cat. No. FA1710).

NOTE: Some manufacturers used special 1/2" (12.7 mm) increment channel lengths. These are not normally stocked but can be special ordered. The stamped number is the most reliable way to identify the correct replacement balance. The weight-range chart is a reference when the stamped number is unreadable.

Standard stocked chart covers FA1210 through FA4240. The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 indicate the counter-balance weight designation. If you see a 90 or 9 (for example 2790-26) or a suffix like "DS" (for example 27DS-34), the balance is a special weight/balance built to handle a specific sash weight per pair and may be intended for upper or lower sash use — provide this information when ordering special balances.

Product Warning:

The first two numbers of the CRL catalog number do not represent the channel length. Always confirm by measuring the metal channel and reading the stamped identification.
