Hello, thank you for posting,

Your pivot shoe resembles the 17/32" thick 15-199 that is compatible with either the 1/2" thick Series 160 or 3/8" thick Series 165 coil springs. Please measure all dimensions to confirm the best fit.

Alternate view of 15-199

The coil springs should have numbers stamped on the metal that indicates the weighted option needed. If no markings are found, please provide the weight of the window sash to move forward.

Please review and let us know if you have any additional questions!

Lauren,

Hopefully these pictures will help and the Sash weight was 18.6 on a scale. hoping the Series 140 Quick-Tilt Balance will work for me.

Thank you,

We recommend sticking to the same style as the original setup. To determine the correct series of coil, please let me know if the original measure 3/8" or 1/2" thick. From there we can confirm the weighted option needed based on the weight of the sash.

Thank you for confirming,

For a 18.6 pound sash, you can stack (1) S165-5 and (1) S165-4 coil spring using the 15-204 dual support on both sides of the window.

Please review and let me know if you have any additional questions!
