Brixwell Window Channel Balance, Aluminium, 9/16" Width, 1/2" Depth, 30" Length, 16 to 23 Lbs Sash Weight, with Top and Bottom Sash Guide Heights of 1-1/4" and 1-1/16", Replacement Window Hardware

The Brixwell 30" Window Channel Balance provides counterbalancing force for hung window sashes using an internal spring calibrated for a 16 to 23 lbs operating range. Constructed from aluminium with an aluminium finish, the channel measures 9/16" in width, 1/2" in depth, and 30" in length to suit jamb tracks designed for this profile. This configuration includes attached guides at the top and at the bottom for direct engagement with the sash. The top guide is plastic with a white finish and measures 9/16" upper width, 1-1/4" height, and 11/16" lower depth, 19/32" upper depth. The bottom guide provides a 15/16" width, 3/8" mounting tab depth, and 1-1/16" height. Together, these maintain sash alignment within the track during vertical travel. When installed, the spring offsets sash weight to assist lifting and enable controlled descent across the opening height. Installation involves seating the balance in the jamb, checking guide alignment, and setting spring engagement as specified. Routine service includes debris removal and inspection of wear points to sustain consistent function.

• MATERIAL: Made of aluminium, this window channel balance supports stability and movement for hung window sashes, supporting reliable spring operation and proper load distribution during vertical sash travel under typical residential use.
• FINISH: Aluminium finish with a steady metallic surface for regular window motion. Its consistent appearance complements standard jamb hardware while maintaining mechanical contact with sash interfaces.
• DIMENSIONS: Channel measures 9/16" width, 1/2" depth, and 30" length; top guide has a 9/16" upper width, 1-1/4" height, and 11/16" lower depth, 19/32" upper depth. Bottom sash guide has 15/16" width, 3/8" mounting tab depth, and 1-1/16" height.
• FUNCTION: Supports counterbalance of window sashes weighing 16 to 23 lbs, maintaining equilibrium for raising and lowering. The internal spring offsets sash load, minimizing friction and helping controlled travel within the jamb track.
• COMPATIBILITY: Designed for hung window systems using top and bottom sash guides attached to the channel balance. The specified dimensions align with common jamb channels to match sash profiles in the stated weight range.
• USAGE: Installs vertically in the jamb channel to balance sash weight during movement. The integrated spring mechanism maintains steady tension and enables balanced sash travel during repeated operation cycles.
• INSTALLATION: Insert the balance into the jamb track, attach sash guides to the sash frame, and secure mounting ends. After installation, verify spring tension and travel alignment to confirm balanced motion through the full opening range.
