Awning window operator: I can't find any identifying feature on the hardware

Question

I removed a broken awning window operator from my window. I cannot find a brand or part number on it anywhere. It has a brass plate on the bottom, two arms with shoes on the ends, and a track that the shoes slide on attached to the window. It is a crank style operator but I would like to buy a lever style operator. The hole in our current window sill cover is 4 7/16"x 3/4". The old arms were about 11 1/2". I am looking for a lever style operator that would fill the 4 7/16" hole and has similarly sized arms. Thanks!

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out to us. We aren't able to help with new applications, unfortunately. All of the hardware we sell is meant to be used as replacements for very specific, previously existing parts. They're not meant for new applications like you describe. You're welcome to browse our selection of awning operators here but we can't exactly make a recommendation for you. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

We're happy to ID the original operator the window was designed to use if you'd like. We would just have to see photos of the old assembly to compare to our inventory.
