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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Type: Seal and nut assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting Size: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Model: AEPF42601AA air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Refrigerant line \/ flowrator sealing connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003egenuine Goodman OEM seal and nut\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.
