Window balance of Simonton windows

Home Owner from 44147

P/n looks to be 5232208, I see a #5.0 and 35"P on the coil. There are three all together. Looking to repair a total of 5 windows.

I have some that slide close when opening. My home is 20 yrs old.

My name is Ken. Thanks

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your post! Your Simonton shoe reminds me of the 15-199 Pivot Shoe. It is typically used along with the 26-378 Pivot Bar.

Your coil support looks like it could be the 15-204 3/8" Egress Coil Dual Support, which would be compatible with the 3/8" wide S165-5 Coil Balance. Be sure to double check the width of your coil and the stamp from the second coil on the balance to confirm that it is also a 5lb spring.

If your coil happens to be 1/2" wide, you'll need the S160-05 Coil Balance and the 15-150D 1/2" Coil Double Support.

Hey Jasmine, thanks for the reply.
The coils are 3/8" wide. There are three (3) in each coil support.
So it looks like I would need the following for one side of my windows:
15-199 - Pivot Shoe
S165-5 Egress Coil Balance (3)
3/8" Coil TRIPLE support - would this be the 15-205? Got this number from the video "Replacing a Triple Coil system"
26-378 - Pivot Bar - these don't appear to have a lot of wear and tear, would this be a good idea to replace what is there at this time?

Let me know if I am correct in my understanding of what's needing to replace/repair. Thanks for your time.

Hello,

If there are (3) coils on each side, you can use the 15-205 triple support. Together with the other side, the sash should weigh 30 pounds. 

If the pivot bars are in good shape, you can reuse them. It would be a personal preference if you want to change them out since you are already repairing the other parts.

Let me know if you have any additional questions!
