Thanks for posting. This coil shoe looks similar to our 15-087, which uses the Series 180 coil springs. Go over the dimensions to confirm it's a match. We're not always confident with stamp codes on the coil housing, rather than the coil springs themselves. Look for stamps on the springs to indicate the weight needed. if there are none, or you are uncertain, weigh your window sash. Give us that exact weight and we'll try and work out what you need.

My other concern is that your old coil shoe's cam might have been shaped differently, which might affect the compatibility of your window sash's pivot bar with this new shoe. If you're uncertain, show us a picture of the pivot bar out of the window so we can confirm if it will work with the 15-087. Many thanks.
