Hello, thank you for posting,

Your balance assembly resembles the 15-199 pivot shoe that is compatible with either the 1/2" thick Series 160 coil springs or the 3/8" thick Series 165 coils. The 15-199 pivot shoe has a 17/32" thickness/depth. Please review the style and dimensions to confirm a good fit. Let us know what you think and if you have any additional questions!

Yes that is the size of my pivot shoe. My springs are 1/2" thick. I think the series 160. I believe there are 2 springs that are broken, so I need 2 springs (series 160) and #15-199 pivot shoe to repair? Does this sound right?

Hello, 

Yes, that looks correct! You will want to look at the coils to see if there is a number stamped into the metal that informs the weight option of each coil. If numbers are not present, please provide the weight of the window sash to move forward!

I don't see anything on the coils. And don't know the weight of sash. Took a pic of sticker on frame if this helps. Thanks

Weighing the window at about 22 lbs.

Thank you for confirming,

For a 22 pound window sash, you can use (2) S160-5 coil springs on each side of the window using the 15-150D coil support. Please review and let me know if you have any additional questions!
