I have what appears to be a broken coil spring assembly, where the coil broke from the rest of the coil in the housing. This is on a Traco window. The side of the housing has '38B' written on it if that helps. This one is form the left side but the right side is broken as well. Would you have anything that would fit my window?
Thank you,
Rick
Hi Rick, thank you for posting,
Your balance assembly resembles the 15-087 pivot shoe that is compatible with the Series 180 coil springs. Please review the dimensions to confirm a good fit and let me know if you have any additional questions.
Hi Rick,
If the coil is stamped with a #7, it should indicate that the window sash weighs 14 pounds, so you would use (1) S180-7 coil on each side of the window sash. To confirm this, you can weigh the sash on a bathroom scale.
For the heavier window, you may have the same pivot shoe, but it is possible it could be a different style. You will need to remove the window sash to confirm. If the coils are not stamped, weigh the window sash and divide by the amount of coils in the window to determine the proper coil weight needed. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
I have included an installation diagram below. Please note that the 15-086 housing is only needed if there is a double coil setup in the heavier windows.
Hello,
Yes, if the coil is still in working order, you would just need to purchase the 15-086 housing and switch out the coil which connects to the pivot shoe.
We do not offer your exact bracket. The two we offer are the 16-024 and 16-031 brackets that will work with the Series 180 coil springs. Both coils would latch onto the bracket.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
No problem!
