Thanks for posting. The pivot shoe looks like our 15-192. This is compatible with Series 170 and Series 171 Coil Springs. The Series 171 is used if you have more than one coil on each side of the window. It has a longer tongue to reach around the Series 170 and attach to the pivot shoe. Please note that our Series 170 and Series 171 attach with only one screw apiece. I'm not certain if the '500' you cite is a relevant number. However, I think in general it would be best to weigh the window sash to obtain the exact weight you need to support. The reason I ask this is because I'm wondering if one of the reason one side of your coil balances keeps breaking is because the spring weight support is uneven on both sides of the sash. If you give us the exact weight of your sash, we should be able to tell you what you need. |

Thanks for getting back to me. If the sash weighs 20 lbs, then the best set up would be a S170-405 and S171-405 on both sides of the sash. Both of these coil springs are for 5 lbs of support. This equals 10 lbs of support on both sides of the sash, for a total amount of 20 lbs of support. Let me know what you think. |

First, attach the coil springs to the pivot shoe. Then put the covers on. Once everything is fully assembled, feed the entire coil balance system into the cutout, shoe first. Let us know if you have any other questions. |
