Thanks for reaching out to us. We can supply this balance, but it will have to be a custom order due to its configuration. What you have here is a Series 795 but with the bottom fitting swapped out for the 15-194, as you already pointed out, and the top fitting swapped out for the 15-198.

This is not a stock configuration so a custom order is necessary. If you were interested, just give me the stamp printed on the metal channel and the quantity you wanted to buy so that I can get the ball rolling on that.

For the other parts you picked out, the design in each case is very different to the hardware in your photos. Ultimately you will need to carefully compare the dimensions we show on each store page to your own. If they differ in any way, let me know exactly how and I can see if we sell anything better.

the pivot bar I have is 2-1/2 inch. The measurement from the flat end to the flange is 1/2 Inch.

your pivot bar does not have a flange on it, is this make it adjustable. Some of your illustrated bars do not have the measurement for that space. The bars on my windows do not have screw to hold them in place. Can I use these and add a screw to stop them from moving. Photo listed above.

We only sell pivot bars that install via screws, unfortunately. I actually am not familiar with your design at all, it's not like anything I've seen before. All I can tell you is that the only way you will be able to get ours to work is by drilling holes for screws, but this isn't always possible on all sashes. You also have to consider the fact that if you drill too deep, you'll hit the glass. It can be a tricky thing. You may want the help of a local pro if you aren't comfortable making that kind of alteration yourself.

That said, as long as you can get the pivot bar to install on the sash, then the 26-021 will absolutely work with our balance hardware. You just have to find a way to mount it.
