It provides the leak-tight mechanical seal between the flowrator\/distributor fitting and the coil tubing. Whenever a metering device or inlet tube is serviced, replacing the seal and nut ensures a fresh, gas-tight joint — reusing an old, deformed seal is a frequent source of slow refrigerant leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection Size: 3\/8 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Seal and threaded nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipment Type: Air Handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Model: AEPT060-00C-1A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seal's durometer, thickness, and the nut's thread pitch must match the factory fitting precisely to achieve a refrigerant-rated seal.
