I have a TRACO double hung window that needs the coil balances on both sides changed. The window is 26#. Thanks.

Thanks for posting. This looks like our 15-087 Coil Balance Shoe and the 15-086 Housing Tandem. This system uses our Series 180 Coil Springs.

Do you mean your window weighs 26 lbs? If so, then you'd need one of the S180-6 6 lb Coil Springs and one of the S180-7 7 lb Coil Springs on each side of the window sash. That would give you 13 lbs of support on either side of the sash, for a total of 26 lbs of support. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the response!
Yes, the window weighs 26# and I had no idea you could mix different tension coil springs although it makes perfect sense for balance.
Thanks again!
