Coil width is 0.75"

Please recommend pivot shoe, coil double or triple support, coil balance for norandex 27"*36" about 17pound

When you find pivot shoe, please check my pivot bar to fit with pivot shoe

Hello,

We'd be happy to look into this for you but we'll need a bit more information to get started. First, we'll need to see the pivot shoe that the coils attach to fully removed from the window. Also, please write out the exact width and thickness of the shoe. 

There should also be numbers stamped on the original coils that indicate the strength options needed for your replacements. If not, we will need you to confirm the exact weight of the window sash. 

Lastly, we would need to see your pivot bar fully removed from the window sash to compare to our inventory. Thank you!

Though we do not carry an exact match for your original coil balance, we believe we found a system that should work for your Norandex window. For the pivot shoe, you'll use the 15-259, which should accept your pivot bar. Note that you might need to file down some of the tip to fit in the pivot shoe cam. The #15 on your balance coil spring indicates that you can use one S159-07 and S159-08 on each side. The coil springs are 40" long. If you need a new cover for the springs, see the 15-256.

I am not sure but my coil balance is double
And I think coil balance connected to only one side of shoe

Can I connect coil balance to one side of shoe like swisco replace coil balance video?

Sure, see the video below that shoes the installation process for these replacement parts.

Also, you would need to order two of the S159-07 and two of the S159-08 coils since you'll need one of each for both sides of the window.

Can you find smaller and soft material pivot shoe than 15-259?
15-259 is bigger than my pivot shoe also material is hard so can't put sashi inside

The 15-259 would be our best replacement option for your window. Pivot shoes also need to be made of sturdy material since they are under constant tension. If you haven't already, you could try using some silicone spray to help insert the shoe into the jamb opening. You could also consider enlarging the cutout slightly if needed.
