Coil Springs
Dimensions of the coil assembly with coil is 1-1/4" wide; 2-15/16" length; depth 1/2"
Sash weighs 18.9 pounds
Windows are about 12 years old. No markings.
Oddly - identical windows sashes and weights - some had 1 coil others had 2.
Thanks for writing in, and thanks for providing so much detail up front! Your pivot shoe looks like an older version of our 15-180. This pivot shoe is compatible with our Series 190 Coil Balances. For a window sash that weighs 18.9 lbs, you'd be fine going with a S190-440 4 lb Coil Spring and S190-540 5 lb Coil Spring on each side of the sash. This would equal 9 lbs of support on each side of the sash, and 18 lbs of total support. This is close enough to 18.9 lbs that it should work just fine.
The reason why some of your other windows only had one coil spring on each side of the sash is probably because those springs were calibrated to support a higher amount of weight--maybe 9 lbs apiece--and so only one per side was necessary. We don't carry 9 lb springs for the Series 190; but the S190-440 and S190-540 tandem should get the job done all the same. Let us know if you have any other questions.
How do I install two coil springs in tandem....?
Is that 2 housings and 2 coils on each side of the sash?
Or.......
Thanks! Always happy to help, and many thanks for your business; we appreciate it. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask.
