The matched seal and nut work together to compress against the mating surface, preventing refrigerant loss at the joint. Even a slow leak at this connection can drain a system's charge over a season, leading to weak cooling and compressor strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Seal and matching nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: AEPT030-00C-1 air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand fit: Goodman, Amana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: B1796632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eOEM seal-and-nut kit\u003c\/strong\u003e is machined to the exact thread pitch and seal durometer Goodman specifies, so it torques down to a reliable seal without over-tightening.
