Pivot bars for capitol windows

Question

I am looking for replacement pivot bars for vinyl double-hung capitol windows (installed in new construction approx 2002). I show a picture of the pivot bar and the receiver in the window frame. From your site and my inspection of my windows, it appears that either the 26-272 or the 26-378 pivot bars will work. The bar is 3" long, and the screw hole at 2" in from the pivot end is the one that received the screw through the frame (although I could drill new holes in the window frames if needed). Which bar would you recommend? I will be ordering a dozen or so.

Thanks for posting. I agree with your analysis. Your Pivot Shoe resembles an older version of our 15-180, which is commonly used with the 26-378. It's possible the 26-272 could work as well; but based on experience, I'd just go with the 26-378.
