Goodman B1796632 3/8 in. Seal and Nut Kit

The Goodman B1796632 is a factory-original 3/8-inch seal and nut assembly designed for Goodman and Amana AEPT036-00C-1 air handlers. This small but critical sealing component prevents air bypass and moisture intrusion at threaded penetrations inside the air handler cabinet, helping maintain rated airflow and system efficiency. A worn, missing, or cracked seal is a common cause of cabinet sweating, sensible capacity loss, and noisy operation.

Specifications

Fitting size: 3/8 inch
Includes: Seal (gasket) and matching nut
Part type: OEM gasket/seal hardware
Fits: Goodman/Amana AEPT036-00C-1 air handlers
Material: Rubber/EPDM seal with metal nut

OEM vs. Generic

The genuine OEM B1796632 is dimensionally matched to Goodman's threaded ports and temperature/condensation conditions inside an air handler. Aftermarket seals are often close but not exact, leading to slow leaks or premature hardening. For a sealing part this inexpensive, OEM is the smart choice.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (1/5). Most homeowners can replace this seal in minutes with basic hand tools. Always disconnect power to the air handler before servicing. If you are uncomfortable opening the cabinet, a qualified HVAC technician can install it during routine maintenance.
