Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out to us. I don't recognize this pivot bar at first glance. Please allow me to consult one of our senior experts. We will reach back out ASAP.

We have an offset tilt bar like yours, the 26-306, but the mounting hole is set back 2". I'm not sure your sash allows that. We also have a straight pivot bar, the 26-241, where the rear hole is set back 1-3/4". We don't believe the offset is critical in the operation of the window. Take a look at the specifications and see what you think.

Hi Emily and Paul,

the three uploaded images that head is broken; please see I upload another four images that head was good and was on window.
I also uploaded a picture that I am drawing measure size,
the pivot bar size is:
Length: 2" 1/2
Width: 1/4
height: 1/8
the T head is 5/8 width and 1/8 height.

yes, I'm preferring to consider purchase 26-241, the only concern is the L head is 3/8 width which it will works on my window or not?

I'm expecting your expert advice and looking forward to hearing you soon.

Hmm! Would it be possible for us to see a photo of the pivot shoe?

Thank you, Jay! The pivot shoe shown here appears to be the 15-180. This is compatible with a pivot bar like the 26-040. Take a look at the specifications and see if one of the installation holes matches up with one of yours.

wow awesome! thank you Paul!

I'm keep looking for looks like exactly the same pivot bar, really don't know another one could be compatible with it, that's why you're expert and I'm a quick learner, lol.

just one more question: the original pivot bar has T head, but the one your suggestion is without head, doesn't this affect usage?

This pivot bar should work for you since it's designed to be used with the 15-180 shoe. Re-drilling holes might be necessary if one of the installation hole placements doesn't match up. That may not be the case here looking at your illustration but you can compare the dimensions to be certain.
