Help With Installation

Quick Learner from USA

I ordered Coil housing pivot, tandem coil housing and two new coils. My question is how to align up both coils (since one is stacked above the other) so that both of the hols in the coils can be secured in the frame via those holes. The top coil does not need stretched but I need to pull tension on the lower coiuld to pull it up to so hole on lower coil matches upper coil for attachment. I see no You tube video for that, only see video if installing one.   

(Emailed Diagram for 15-087.)  hanks but this does not answer my question.  Because one coil is lower than the other how do I line up (match up) the holes on both coils to enable me to secure the 16-024 into the holes on both coils. As you can see in my photo one coil is lower than the other, therefore the lower coil holes do not line up with the upper coil holes to allow me to attach the 16-024 bracket.

Hello,

Once the two halves of the 15-087 are snapped together with the coil springs inside, you'll extend both coils to the top to attach to the 16-024 bracket. You're correct that the bottom coil will need to stretch over the top coil, so you would attach the top coil to the bracket before the bottom. Both coils attach to the bracket with both holes, as shown in the diagram below. Once the entire assembly is installed in the window cutout, you'll screw the mounting bracket in place before lowering the 15-087 housings and locking them in place to reinstall the sash. Thanks for posting.

So the lower coil (in 15-087 housing) is lower than the upper coil.  My question is still not answered. Putting the entire assembly in the window cutout, the lower coil is lower than the upper coil and more importantly behiund the upper coil. So I cannot see it (lower coil) nor acess it to raise it up to match holes of upper coil so I can install the mounting bracket into holes of both coils.. So how do you pull up the lower coil to match the upper coil mounting holes when whole asssembly is in the window track and ther lower coil is hidden behind and located lower than the upper coil?

You'll need to connect the upper coil, followed by the lower coil, to the mounting bracket before it is installed in the window track. Once the housing and bracket are installed in the jamb fully assembled, you'll screw in the bracket before lowering in the housings.
