Double Hung Window Coil Balances

Quick Learner from Anderson, SC

I have double hung windows with with 2 coils to each constant force spring housing. The top coil has stamped on it 6.5 PAT5 8. The bottom coil has a 3 stamped on it. Both coils measure right at 0.496 inches diameter using a caliper. The top coil thickness is @ 0.181 inches. The bottom coil is @ 0.158 inches. The plastic housing/compartment for the springs also broke.

The shoe on the inside had Patent then under it 4.610.108

I have 3 windows that I would like to replace the double coil constant force springs with shoes. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Hi there! I recommend our 15-111 pivot shoe and S160-6 coil spring. The S160-6 has the same 6.5 stamp as your original, indicating that it can carry 6.5 pounds (per spring).

Hello Tom, I would like to move forward with ordering your recommendations:

6 of the S160-6

6 of the 15-111.

I also need the plastic cases for each.

Also please note that each side of the windows has two springs or double springs in each plastic holder.

Please give me instructions on how to order these.

Thanks,

James

Great! All orders can be placed directly on our site at your convenience. If you have two springs per side, then you want the 15-150D double spring cover, which is fully compatible with the S160-6.
