Goodman B1796632 Seal and Nut (3/8 in.)

The Goodman B1796632 is a genuine OEM 3/8-inch seal and nut assembly for the ARUF032-00A-1B air handler. This sealing hardware creates a leak-tight mechanical connection at the 3/8" fitting, maintaining system integrity at the coil or line connection. Even a minor seal failure can cause refrigerant or condensate leakage, so using the factory-spec part is important for a dependable repair.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: B1796632
Component Type: Seal and Nut Assembly
Fitting Size: 3/8 inch
Brand: Goodman (also fits Amana)
Designed For: ARUF032-00A-1B Air Handler
Function: Leak-tight sealed connection at 3/8" joint

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM B1796632 includes the correctly sized nut and matched seal rated for the operating pressures and temperatures of the ARUF032 application. Generic hardware-store substitutes may use the wrong thread pitch or an incompatible seal material, leading to leaks. For an inexpensive sealing part, the genuine assembly is the safe choice.

Installation Difficulty

Easy to Moderate — the nut threads on and torques to spec in minutes, but if the seal is on a refrigerant connection the system must be evacuated and recharged afterward, which requires an EPA-certified technician. Always inspect for leaks after reassembly.
