Stamped #41-51 1/2" Ribbed Channel Balance for Wood Windows, #02 End Bracket

1/2" Ribbed Channel Balance for Wood Windows with Vinyl Jambliners, #02 End Bracket, Stamped #41-51

This ribbed channel balance is designed for wood double hung tilt-in windows that feature vinyl jamb liners. It comes pre-assembled with a #2 end bracket, and the stamp #41-51 is marked on the channel for easy identification. The part is constructed from durable mill-finish aluminum, offering a straightforward, corrosion-resistant solution for restoring smooth window operation.

Although commonly referred to as a 1/2" channel balance, this balance measures 9/16" wide (14.3 mm) with a 5/8" depth (15.9 mm), but '1/2"' is the industry trade designation. Metal channel length varies and should be measured for your specific application. Standard channel lengths range from 10" (254 mm) to 52" (1321 mm).

Important: These balances are specifically intended for wood windows with vinyl jamb liners and are not suitable for all-vinyl window systems. Ensure you have the correct setup before ordering. For best results, confirm three critical features before purchase: the length of the metal channel, the numbers and letters stamped on the channel, and that the attached end bracket matches your original.

Notes

• Commonly used on wood windows with vinyl jambliners—not for vinyl windows.
• Always identify and match the numbers and letters marked on your existing balance for a correct replacement. The first two digits typically indicate glass size—the actual metal length should be 1" more than the number stamped on the balance.
• The letters after the number (R, HD, XH) refer to the weight code. TG is the same as XH. If there is no letter, it defaults to "R" for standard weight.
• No white or beige color options; only bare mill aluminum finish is available.

Please measure your existing channel balance and confirm all markings and bracket types before ordering to ensure proper fit.
