Prime-line Fa 1620 Window Channel Balance

Product Description

The PRIME-LINE FA 1620 is a window channel balance designed to support and control the movement of single- or double-hung window sashes. Channel balances counteract the weight of the sash, allowing it to stay open at any position without a separate locking mechanism. This unit is sold individually and is intended for window hardware replacement applications. It is typically installed by glaziers, general contractors, or experienced maintenance technicians working on residential window systems.

The FA 1620 is suited for window hardware replacement projects where the original channel balance has worn out, broken, or lost tension. Channel balances of this type are common in single-hung and double-hung window assemblies found in residential construction. This part is sold as a single unit, making it practical for targeted repairs without the need to purchase a full set.

Key Features

• Channel balance design supports sash weight and controls vertical movement
• Intended as a direct replacement for worn or failed window channel balances
• Sold individually for single-window or single-sash repairs

Installation Notes

Window channel balance replacement is typically performed by glaziers or experienced window installers. Before servicing, ensure the window sash is fully supported or removed to prevent it from dropping. Verify that the replacement balance matches the original in length, tension, and mounting configuration before installation. Consult local building codes and the window manufacturer guidelines for proper fitment and fastener requirements.
