The seal and matching nut form a leak-tight 3\/8\" joint at the metering device or coil connection. Worn seals and over-torqued nuts are a common source of slow refrigerant leaks — replacing them with the factory set restores a proper, code-compliant seal whenever a connection is opened for service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Seal and nut assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Leak-tight refrigerant tube connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (also fits Amana branded units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Fit: ARPF364216BA air handler coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eOEM Goodman\u003c\/strong\u003e seal and nut are matched to the exact thread pitch and sealing surface of the factory fitting.
