Coil balance id

Question

Window parts ,double hung, made by or for Hodges Company in 2001. This window uses the "15-175" coil balance shoe, blue slate" which I have 4 in stock. The window uses a " 2 coil springs per side, total 4 to lift each half of the window. Each half weighs 25 lbs 3 oz. 2 of the springs have a "5 L" stamped on them and 2 have "E" stamped on them. Both springs are attached to the balance shoe with a small Philips head screw at the same point. I need enough of the springs and the spring plastic coil cover supports to fix any more failures. Total of 8 springs and 8 plastic coil cover supports. I Have pictures if needed. Thank You

I agree, your pivot shoe appears similar to our 15-175. For the coil springs, see our S152-5. The manufacturer now makes the springs with the same length tongue, which does make it a little difficult in doubling them up. I'm afraid we don't have those exact covers, but we do have the 15-143, 15-144 and 15-145, which are used on the hardware we've already gone over. I think they will work for you.
