Replacment Part Check

Question

Hello! Please see attached the current crossbow balances of my windows. I have several that are broken and need replacing. A few questions to make sure I have the right parts. The window stickers say Series: twinseal double hung and part numbers include H-R15-46x77, H-R25-46x65, H-R25-42x77.

Each sash weights 20lbs. the bottom balance is approx 30.5 long and the upper balance is approx 28.5 long. also included are the sash pivots.

Would I replace with series 795 channel balance?
also would need 26-200 screw plugs?
15-195 shoes for balance? current ones are 1.25 wide?
alos 26-366 pivot bars? my bottom sash pivot bar is longer than upper sash? can the same replacement bar be used?

Thank you!

Hello! You are correct: as long as your spring is 1/2" in diameter, then our Series 795 will work perfectly well as a replacement. We actually have a video on this exact project, which you will see below. This will answer all of your questions, but please let me know if you had any follow-ups.

The only thing the video doesn't directly address is an issue I've personally experienced with the new pivot bar: sometimes the front tip won't be long enough to meet the shoe. In those cases you will need to drill a new mounting hole and set it a little further forward. Just something to keep in mind.
