RH awning operator 39-278

We need to replace 7 of the Awning operators. We think the awning operator is the same as your Nu-aire RH awning operator 39-278 (based on the patent numbers found on the old operator (see attachment photos).

Question:

1. Do you have the dimensions of the 39-278 so that I can compare?

2. The end of the of link bar that attaches to the awing windows does not have a drilled hole. Refer to the photos attached. It has what looks like a threaded piece and metal bushing. What parts do we need to order to attach the 39-278 to our awning windows?

Thanks, Kathy

I'm reminded of our 39-025 right off the bat, but the mounting holes are different from the 39-278 you initially pointed out. I would go over the dimensions we show for the 39-025 to see if it would be a better match.

The 39-025 pivot arm is 2.25" center to center. Our part pivot arm is 2.5" center to center so it is not exactly the same and I am not sure it will work. I have attached dimensions of the mounting holes for our part that may be of more help in identifying the replacement part.

The size of the link arm doesn't have to be exact. They're designed to have some play, so you can get away with a difference like that. I'm more concerned about the mounting hole spacing. There is no such play with those measurements. I would double check yours to see if maybe you could still get ours to work.
