Replacement part for Simonton double hung Replacement window

Contractor from Pa
The part I'm looking for connects the balance to the sash plastic piece that rides in channel in window frame with round metal piece that allows window to tilt in.The Simonton windows were manufactured 4/21/11 I assume there is a left and right for each sash.

Thank you

Hey, thanks for reaching out! Your coil balance assembly appears to be an older discontinued shoe that is no longer available. The good news is that we have two possible replacements that may work for you.

For this, we typically recommend our 15-192 Certainteed pivot shoe to replace your Simonton brand part but you may need to shave down the aligners from the shoe to install it into the window. Take a look at the dimensions to confirm if it may work for you.

These are compatible with the Series 170 coil balances as well as the Series 171. The S171 is stacked on top of the S170 in situations where there is more than one coil. To confirm which coil strength you need, you'll need to look for any stamps/markings on the metal coil. If there are no stamps/markings, you'll need to get the window weight and divide it by the total number of coils in the window.

Please also be aware that we are also now recommending the 15-259 pivot shoe, which should fit well in the track, along with the S159 coils springs and either the 15-255 single support or the 15-256 double support. To use this assembly, the original pivot bars would need to be replaced with our 26-083. We are still in the early stages of confirming if this replacement is a good long-term solution but we have high hopes that it will work with little need for modifications, if any. Take a look and if you decide to give it a try, we'd be eager to hear how it works out for you.

Be sure to carefully review all of the information to confirm which of these assemblies might be the best solution for your window.

Will the CertainTeed 15-192 Pivot Shoe work on the left and right side of the window? If so what is the price?

Thank you.
