The Goodman B1796632 Seal and Nut (3/8 inch) is a genuine OEM sealing kit designed for the Goodman AEPF42601AA air handler. This fitting creates a leak-tight refrigerant connection at the 3/8-inch line, preventing refrigerant loss and maintaining proper system pressures. Over time, seals harden and compress; a fresh OEM seal and nut restores a positive, gas-tight joint during coil or flowrator service.

Fitting Size: 3/8 inch
Compatible Model: AEPF42601AA air handler
Brand: Goodman

OEM vs. Generic

The genuine Goodman OEM seal and nut is matched to the exact thread pitch and seat geometry of the AEPF42601AA fitting. Generic seals may be close but not exact, leading to slow refrigerant leaks that are costly to diagnose. Choosing OEM guarantees the correct durometer and sealing surface for a reliable, long-lasting joint.

Install Difficulty

Moderate to Hard. Because the seal sits on a refrigerant connection, replacement is typically done during a service that involves the sealed system. An EPA 608-certified technician should recover, replace, evacuate, and recharge as needed.

Always replace the seal whenever a fitting is opened, and torque the nut to spec to avoid over-compression. Genuine Goodman parts ensure an exact fit on the AEPF42601AA.
