This 3\/8-inch seal and nut assembly forms the leak-tight mechanical connection at the coil's refrigerant fitting, holding system charge and preventing refrigerant loss at the joint. Worn or over-torqued seals are a common slow-leak point, so replacing the seal whenever a connection is opened is best practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e B1796632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seal and nut (sealing fitting kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Goodman\/Amana ARUF061-00A-1B air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leak-tight refrigerant fitting connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Air Handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003egenuine Goodman OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e B1796632 matches the exact thread pitch and seal geometry of the ARUF061 fitting, so it torques down to a reliable, leak-free seal. Mismatched generic nuts and seals can cross-thread or seat unevenly, causing slow refrigerant leaks that are costly to diagnose.
