pivot shoes

Hello,

The 15-173 did come to mind based on your description but we would need to see photos of your pivot shoe removed from the window to determine if this would be our best replacement option. 

Also, you are correct that 9/16" is generally considered 1/2" in the trade but this could still be an issue if your window channel has exactly 1/2" of clearance and the shoe measures a hair over. Thank you. 

If you're having trouble submitting your photos, you are welcome to email them to help@swisco.com with reference number D292541. 

Thanks for getting back to us! Based on your photos, it looks like the 15-173 would be our closest match. With that being said, it could still work for you as long as it will fit inside your window channel, as well as attach to your original pivot bar and balance assembly. Note that this shoe is commonly used with the S600 spiral balance. Past customers have also purchased this shoe with pivot bars measuring 3/16" high by 5/16" wide. Take a look and if you decide to give it a try and run into any issues, our return policy can be found here. 

The 15-173 is sometimes used with channel balances such as the S770, so I agree that you should be able to attach your balance to the shoe as long as the specifications match your original part.
