Replacement window

Quick Learner from Pittsburgh PA 152
Hello, we are looking for a part for a replacement window. We have purchased this window a few years back from Home Depot. I want to say it is a Jen weld brand I think.   We looked on the band and we did not find any identification numbers I can look again.  When I have to take the window back out to replace it or instead of using the band, can I use an alternative type of balance?

Thank you for reaching out to us. We're happy to help with this, but we'll need to see a photo of the pivot shoe. That will allow us to identify the compatible coil balances.

As a policy, we recommend that you stick with the original hardware the window was designed to use.

Hello Swisco, sorry I haven't reached out sooner. I wanted to ask you a quick question do I have to take the replacement window out of the frame in order to visualize the pivot shoe?  Or can I view it if I lower the top sash down 

Thank you for your  time. Ron

Yes, you'll need to fully remove the window sash to get a good shot of the pivot shoe. Note that if it's too obscured, we may need to see it removed from the window track.

OK I believe this is what we need to figure out how to replace the broken pivot issue.  Please let me know if you need anything else. Thank you for your time and patience. Ron

Thank you, Ron! Our 15-087 is a match for the pivot shoe shown here. The S180 coil springs are sold separately. The stamp on the pivot shoe is too faded to make out, but you can check the band of the old spring for a weight code. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 Hello Swisco 
the only numbers or letters that I see are I H 6  i'm not sure if that means anything or not. If I gave you the size of the window sash, would that help?
thank you for your time

That helps! I recommend the S180-06 6-pound coil spring based on the weight code on the spring.

Ok sounds good.  I would like to place an order for all three items...the coil housing, mounting bracket and the 6 pound coil. Can I do that on this site?

thank you for your time and patience
