This looks like a 15-087 Coil Balance Shoe, which uses our Series 180 Coil Balances. A coil spring stamped '6' might be our S180-6 6 lb spring; but of course, you run the risk of it being a '9' spring too. If in doubt, obtain the exact weight of your window sash, and we'll work out what you need.

Thank you, the sash weighs 12.6 lbs enclosed is a picture of the end of the coil with 2 holes.

If the sash weighs 12.6 lbs, then using (2) of the S180-6, one on each side of the sash, will work. That would equal 6 lbs of support on either side, for a total of 12 lbs of support overall--being within 1 lb of the actual sash weight works fine.

Thanks Bob
Can I just replace the coils or do I need the shoes also? My current shoes are not broken

Coil balance hardware is modular, meaning you can indeed replace things piece-by-piece. So if the shoes are undamaged, you can go ahead and just replace the coils.
