window pivot bar?

Home Owner from NC
Hi,
I'm looking for a pivot bar:
20+ year old vinyl double-hung (generic) windows, no markings
pivot bar includes nylon housing; no bottom screw - have to take of side piece (2 screws/stile).
Fairly close to 26-425 (no wings) - is it likely that that one would work?
Thanks,
David

Hey, David. Thanks for reaching out to us. I think the 26-425 is definitely our strongest contender, though to be honest I'm not 100% convinced that it fit. There are a couple of important differences that may prevent it from being an ideal match, namely the style of the tip itself. 

The tip of the 26-425 has a somewhat "U" shape, to accommodate a tooth in the corresponding pivot shoe. See our 15-046 for an example of the kind of pivot shoe this works with. Does that match what you have now?

Assuming it does, there's still the matter of whether or not it will fit in the sash. I personally think that's less of a concern. The housing isn't the same, but it's close enough that I think you can manage it. If it doesn't, then I don't think we'll be able to get you a closer option.

Hi Tom,
Just to update, the 26-425 fit perfectly. I actually ordered two so I'm prepared when the next one breaks.
Thanks much. Good website and great inventory!
