If your double-hung or tilt windows are getting hard to open, won't stay up, or slam shut, the problem might be a broken coil spring balance. This WRS Series 37 QuickTilt balance is a common replacement part. This specific one is a **TRIPLE coil spring** model rated for **#22 weight**, which is designed for a sash weight of **43 to 44.99 pounds** (important: this is the TOTAL sash weight, so you typically need TWO balances, one for each side of the window).
**READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING:** Selecting the right balance is crucial. First, you MUST know the weight of your window sash. You can either weigh it carefully, or often the old balance will have a number stamped on its plastic housing (like \22\, \7\, \15\, etc.). That number is the balance weight you need. This listing is for a #22 triple-coil balance. If your sash weighs, say, 44 lbs total, you'd need two of these #22 balances (each handles half the weight, ~22 lbs).
This balance is part of the \37 Series\ and has a 17/32\ channel depth. It comes as a complete unit with the coil springs and the pivot lock shoe already assembled. It's an AAMA Class 3 verified component, which is a good quality standard. **We always recommend replacing BOTH balances on a window at the same time** for even operation.
If you're unsure about the weight or model, it's best to contact the seller or a professional with a photo of your old balance and window type. But if you've confirmed you need a #22 triple-coil balance, this is a solid, direct replacement to get your window gliding smoothly again.
