Hi Swisco - i'm unsure of which pivot bar to buy for this window. As you can see there is a lot of rust and the current pivot bar has basically disintegrated and some parts are inside the lower portion of the window. Do you have enough information here to determine the part?

Other parts i am ordering for the window are; S600-17 (red tip) and the 15-046.

thank you!

Hi there, Bard.

We appreciate you reaching out to us. It's hard to say what pivot bar you may need since yours is so damaged. However, the 15-046 is compatible with the 26-040. Is there an identical window in the house with a pivot bar in better condition? If so, I would recommend you compare our specifications with an undamaged version to see how they align.
