coil balance ID help

Professional from Whiteland In
I am lookin for the coil balance and shoe for this tandem balance application. Not sure on the end tab compared to what you show in the catalog for this type balance. Coil is stamped 8 . What other info would you need to help me on this? my tech only brought the lower half of the double coil. Will I need the number off the upper coil to proceed?

Hello, thank you for posting,

Unfortunately we do not carry an exact match for your original pivot shoe. We recommend reviewing the 15-228 as a potential replacement option. Please compare the dimensions below to see how it matches up.

Dimensions for 15-228
Dimensions for 15-228

The 15-228 shoe is compatible with either the 1/2" thick Series 160 or the 3/8" thick Series 165 coil springs. Measure the original spring to confirm the best fit. The corresponding covers can be viewed on the series product page. 

You will need to get the stamp off the original upper coil as well to determine the correct weighted option. If there is no markings, please provide the weight of the window sash to move forward. Let me know if you have any additional questions!

can you revisit my coil stamped 8 with a short "T" tab with a tandem housing. i can't find a selection to match my assembly. do i need to get the parts separate and build the coils? if so can you lead me to the correct parts to do this?

Hello,

The coil assembly parts mentioned above would be our best match since we do not carry your exact assembly. How did the original pivot shoe dimensions compare to the diagram of the 15-228 above? 

Can you confirm if your original coil spring is 3/8" or 1/2" thick? Thank you!

my existing coil is 1/2" wide. i see the coils in the catalog but not the whole part. i need the assembly with the housing and coil both. Does the coil come with the housing? or do i need to piece the part i need together?

For a 1/2" thick, please review the Series 160 coil springs. We do not carry a 8 pound option for the Series 160 coils. If you need to confirm the exact amount or weighted coils needed, please provide the weight of the sash to move forward. 

All parts are sold separately. Please review the 15-150S single coil support or the 15-150D double support.

These parts are compatible with the 15-228 pivot shoe. If all dimensions match up, these parts should work as a replacement for your window.
