Hi, I need help identifying parts to replace the constant balance double coil in my vinyl windows. I can't remember who made the windows, but I think it's either Simonton or Certainteed or some other manufacturer in Richmond, California that's no longer in business.
I took a few pictures of the labels on the various double hung windows that are exactly the same size. The only difference is one window is frosted glass and the other six are regular glass w/a UV coating.
I think the #'s on the coils coil # 3.5 35" pat5232208 and 4.5 35" pat523208 on the smaller windows The coil# on the larger is 6.5 35" PAT523208 and the 3.5 35" on the 2nd coil. The 1st # on one of the springs is rubbed off.
I need to replace several of the coil supports and shoes. I see you have heavy duty shoes and I wonder if they're better than the standard one. Also are there better coils? The coils are what has broken in the more heavily used windows.
I have 6 windows that are exactly the same size and the bathroom window with frosted glass.
The smaller windows needs 4 balance double coils and the coil covers. These weigh 14 pounds per sash.
The larger windows need 8 balance double coils and 4 covers. These weigh 21.5 pounds per sash. I need to new covers for this larger window sash that weighs 21.5#'s. Sending the photos as you requested. Sending a 2nd set of photos in a 2nd email.

Hello! Your shoe looks like the 15-111 but you can use the 15-191. They're more or less the same part, the 15-191 is just made of a somewhat more durable material. We don't have "heavy-duty" springs but the compatible springs are the Series 160. For the 14-pound sash, you can use two S160-03 3.5-pound springs on both sides of the window. This totals 7 pounds of support on each side which equals 14 pounds of overall support. For the 21.5-pound sash, you can use two S160-05 5.5-pound springs on both sides of the window. This totals 11 pounds of support on each side which equals 22 pounds of overall support. You will also need the 15-150D double spring support. Let me know if you have any questions! |
