Hello,

I would recommend removing your pivot shoe from the window to compare to the specifications of the 15-111 shown below. This shoe is compatible with the 1/2" wide S160 coil springs. The stamp codes would correspond to the S160-4 and S160-6. They're also used with the 15-150D double support.

If you need new pivot bars as well, we would need to see yours removed from the window, along with written-out dimensions to compare to our inventory. Thanks for posting!

The pivot shoe i have matches the 15-111 in diamentions, and my orginal pivot bars are in good shape and should fit the new shoes, correct pictures attached. Is the 15-150D coil support you listed the one correct support, the orginal has two screws holding it (picture attached). Also for the coils i will need to get one of each(S-160-6 & S-160-4) does it matter which side of the window they go on?

I agree that the original pivot bars should work with the 15-111 as long as the specifications match but you can look over the 26-040 or 26-068 if you need replacements down the line. We'll include the dimensions from our product pages below to compare to yours.

As for the covers, the style of these parts can change over time but the 15-150D is compatible with the Series 160 coils as long as your window uses two on each side. The coil springs can also be used on the left or right side of the window.

So to make this clear to me, to replace the coil balancers on one window i will need two S-160-4 and two S160-6 one of each per side, why is one a 6.5lb and the other for a 4.5lb

One of your coils is marked with 6.5, which corresponds to the S160-6. I can't be sure why your 4-pound coil is marked differently but it could be an older style. If you're unsure about the stamp codes, feel free to get back to us with the exact weight of your window sash, which we can use to confirm the exact amount of strength needed for both sides of the window.
