Window coil balance on Mi window sash

Handy Person from Buffalo, NY
The coil balance on the upper window sash needs to be replaced. Additional details:
- On the coil closest to the pivot, there appears to be a "6" stamped on the side.
- On the coil furthest away from the pivot (top of photo), there appears to be a "5" stamped on the side.
- Carriage is 1.25" wide x .5" deep

Thanks in advance!!

Hello, thank you for posting,

Your coil balance assembly resembles the 15-180 pivot shoe that is compatible with the Series 190 coil springs. 

Based on the number stamps, we recommend using (1) S190-640 and (1) S190-540 coil spring on both sides along with the 15-182 balance bushings and 15-181 double support clip.

These springs on both sides will support a 22 pound window sash. 

Please review all dimensions to confirm a good fit and let us know if you have any additional questions!

Thank you so much Lauren! This pivot show looks exactly like the one I have. I feel like I could reuse the coil springs and bushings, but curious if you suggest I start with all new hardware on both left and right sides? Can I get away with just replacing the broken pivot shoe and support clip?

Thanks again for your help!!

Hello,

If the coils and bushings are in good shape, you can replace only the parts you need to. Let me know if you have any additional questions!
