Searching for 22" vertical rod crank casement window

A quick learner says:

TAFCO (?) two-light crank out casement window installed 2004.

[Turns out contractor used discontinued track-lighting units - unsurprised when I couldn't find window ;->]

Cranks still work, but mountings for the 23"x.50" flat vertical rod in each window broke.

Zoom = some ID on glass.

Thanks for looking.

Hello,

Take a look at the 39-448 tie bar guide, as well as the related installation video. We also offer two 22.9" long tie bars, the 38-903 with cone rollers and the 38-953 that uses interlock rollers. We would need to see a photo of your entire tie bar showing the top and bottom to confirm if one of them could work for your repair. Thank you!

Thanks for getting back to us. It looks like the 38-953 interlock roller tie bar would be our best replacement option. With that being said, you would need to confirm that the length below matches up to yours. It also looks like one of the rollers may have broken off of your tie bar but you could check another window in the house to be sure.

These are the only casement windows in the house.

And I'm not sure why you think one tie bar is missing a roller.

My pictures are of
two identical tie bars laying side by side,

one with rollers facing up,
one with rollers facing down.

each has 3 rollers
and one hole.

Does this help clarify what might work?
Thanks for your patience!

My bars' measurements are an exact match for the ones you mention.

BUT - again - and I am so sorry for whatever I said that got my question filed forever under
"Search for 22" bar" -

**I do NOT need 22" or almost 23" bars**

The 2 bars pictured are not broken, bent, or missing any parts.

As seemed understood at first, i need the CLIPS that secure and allow the bar model# you mentio to pull a window in close enough to be locked shut.

Thanks for listening - again!

I'm sorry for the confusion. The difference between our tie bar and yours is that ours has a fourth roller that functions as a lock drive point, which yours does not have. That's what made me wonder if yours might have been missing that particular part since there is a small hole in the middle of your tie bars, which could have been where a fourth wheel was attached. If not, unforutnately, we do not carry an exact replacement with only three rollers as shown in your photos. 

As for the clips, I thought that you were referring to the tie bar guides shown in your original photos, which is why we mentioned the 39-448 as a replacement in our initial response. If that is not the clip that you're referring to, we would need to see a clear photo of the original clip that you still need to replace to determine if it is something that we carry.

Wow. I sent pictures of my broken clips with first set of photos.

That's when you told me to look at clips and watch video.

But Ok! Starting over.
Here are the clips used on my windows.

Thanks for looking.

SORRY! Very late and very tired.

I will order those clips - I had hoped to find out the difference between to two clip models that are pictured under the bars.

Thanks again.

Thank you for clarifying. The 39-448 and 39-417 tie bar guides are very similar and can be used interchangeably in most cases. I recommended the 39-448 since it is a closer match to your original part with more projection than the 39-417, which may prevent needing to pack it out with washers. Take a look at the video below for more information on these parts.
