Cannot determine window manufacturer, but looking to replace broken single coil weights for tilt windows. The removed coil weight does not indicate size, part #, weight... No markings from what I can see.

Looking to replace the coil weights and any other of the moving parts to make the window function as they should again.

Hello there. This looks like a 15-180 Pivot Shoe, which works with Series 190 Coil Balances. To know what spring weights to select for the replacement coils, give me the exact weight of the window sash that this system supports, and I can work out what you need.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the quick reply. The window sashes that I'm looking to repair are 10lbs.

Note that along with the single coil weight, I am also looking for the part the tab at the bottom of the sash rests in, in the window sliding track.

Thanks again.

Thanks! For a 10 pound sash, I'd suggest using one S190-540 on each side. These carry 5 pounds each, which gives you 10 pounds of total support.

That tab you indicate here is called the pivot bar. I can only see the front tip so it's hard to say for sure, but start by looking at our 26-040. I think this is what you want but look over its dimensions to verify.
