Good morning, Abe. Thank you for your patience.
This awning operator is discontinued and no longer available. We have been unable to locate a proper replacement part. I am sorry we are not able to provide a replacement for you.
Thank you for posting.
Looking for an operator labeled 7198-2 similar to operator 7198-17 as shown above. Are there any replacements?
Good morning! We were never able to find a replacement for the operator above, so I am not sure if we will be able to for the 7198-2. However, I am not sure how the 7298-2 is different from the 7298-17, if at all. Take a look at the picture and dimensions the customer above listed. Where are the dimensions different? Is there a difference in style? If so, could I see a few pictures so I can see exactly how? That will help us try to find a possible replacement.
I can say the item is identical to the picture above. I am sure the measurements are the same. The one I have is stamped as stated. There is nothing i can see on your website that resembles what is shown in the picture above. I cant imagine anderson not making a replacement operator for this style window. The age of the window is approx. 31 years old.
I need two replacement operators for two small Andersen awning windows. The opener is 19" in length when fully closed. The short "arms" are 3+" long. The center bar (which has 2 slots to connect to the window clamps) is almost 13".
Any suggestions? I don't care how wide the window opens. Just so I can vent the room a little bit.
Susan
I just ran back and measured ours as you described, and it's approximately 18-3/8". Would that work?
I think it will work. I'll go ahead and order two.....
