Need the help with the parts

Quick Learner from Maryland
Hi,
Does it look like:
4lb S-152 (https://www.swisco.com/4-lb/pd/Series-152-Coil-Balance/S152-4)
and
15-177 (https://www.swisco.com/constant-force-pivot-shoe-slate-blue-pad/pd/Tilt-Window-Replacement-Pivot-Lock-Shoes/15-177)?

4lb means the maximum weight that one balance can hold, right?
Also, if I'd like to order two sets (one set includes 1 coil balance and 1 coil balance shoe), I need to buy 2 screws, right?

Thanks.

Thanks for posting. This is indeed a 15-177 Pivot Shoe, which uses Series 152 Coil Balances. However, the stamp on the housing doesn't necessarily indicate the spring weight required. For this particular balance series, it's safer to go with a stamp on the coil spring itself, usually near the tongue. If there is none or you are uncertain, I advise you weigh the window sash. Give me that exact weight and I'll be able to calculate the spring weights you need.

Hi Bob,

The weight of window sash is 15.1 lb.

Thanks

If the window weighs 15.1 pounds, you can use two of the S152-8 8 pound springs, one for each side of the sash. This will equal 16 pounds of support overall--being within 1 pound of the exact sash weight works just fine. Let me know if you have further questions.
