Good morning.
I have Owens Corning fiberglass windows that need replacement parts.
I have attached a picture of the serial number for this window.
In addition to Spiral balance and pivot shoes, I additionally need a charge tool and replacement vent latches. I cant seem to find a vent latch match on your website as mine has a metal hook that runs along the entire length behind the body.
Finally, it looks like the center sash guide is held in place by 3 screws and can be removed. Is this a replacement part too?
It seems that either wear or contaminants have become lodged in the pivot shoe tracks and so they bind. Perhaps they might need replacement.

Your pivot shoe looks like our 15-212, which is is 1-1/4" wide and 9/16" thick. The window balance, meanwhile, looks like our Series 600 with a 5/8" diameter tube and blue tip. Finally, I recommend our 75-006 charging tool. As for the screws in the middle parting bead, they might be used as adjustments to tighten the sides of the window track to the sash. Removing them might not remove the bead, but I'm not sure. |

Wow, that's a weird vent latch. I've never seen this exact style before. We have one or two that are sorta similar in design, but nothing matches those dimensions you gave. The closest is perhaps our 26-354, but it's a little big. The design is still very different and I have my doubts if it will work. You may want to contact the original supplier of the window to see if they have this exact style. If not, the only thing we have that might work is a surface-mount type like our 26-387. Watch the video below to determine if this can work on your window. Sorry I couldn't get you anything closer! |
