Thanks for posting. We don't have an exact match for this pivot bar, but I'd be happy to find a possible replacement option. The problem is the tip that goes into the pivot shoe; we don't have any pivot bar that matches that style. We may be able to find a pivot bar that matches your hole spacing, but not one that can fit in the pivot shoe. That's why I'd like you to show me a picture of the pivot shoe itself. I'd also like to know its width and thickness. My thinking is, if we can find a pivot shoe that matches your size, we can recommend a pivot bar that will work with it. |
Thanks, Paul. Attached is the photo you requested. The cross section of the pivot bar is 5/16" x 3/16" and it fits into the hole in the pivot shoe of the same size and into a 5/16" wide and 3/16" deep slot in the vinyl sash. You can ignore the guide ridge at the tip of the bar that goes into the shoe as it is not necessary or even useful. The shoe slides in a channel and it does not just lift out - I would have to take the window apart and slide it out at the end of the channel. The length of the bar does not really matter, so any pivot bar 5/16" x 3/16" should work as long as the hole spacing is right or new holes can be drilled into it at the right spacing but I am not able to drill holes into steel.
Thanks.

Thanks for the photo, Andrew. I am unable to locate your pivot bar and I am unfamiliar with this pivot shoe. May I suggest trying our 26-089 pivot bar as a substitute? In order to make this pivot bar work, you will need to drill new holes at the bottom of the sash. Take a close look and let us know how you made out. |
