The Goodman B1796632 Seal and Nut (3/8 inch) is a genuine OEM sealing assembly used on the refrigerant/flowrator connection of the ARPF18241BA air handler. This kit pairs a captive seal with a 3/8" nut to create a leak-tight mechanical joint at the metering or line connection. Replacing a worn or deformed seal during service restores a proper seal and prevents slow refrigerant or moisture leaks at the fitting.

Specifications

Part Type: Seal and nut kit
Thread / Fitting Size: 3/8 inch
OEM Part Number: B1796632
Fits Model: ARPF18241BA Goodman/Amana air handler
Brand: Genuine Goodman / Amana OEM

OEM vs. Generic

OEM seals are molded to the exact durometer and dimension the joint was designed around. Generic O-rings or hardware-store nuts may not seat correctly under the same torque, risking a slow leak that is difficult to diagnose. The factory B1796632 guarantees a correct match the first time and keeps your equipment within warranty.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate (3/5). The seal itself installs with hand tools, but because it sits on a refrigerant-bearing joint, the system charge must typically be recovered and the connection re-evacuated and recharged. EPA 608 certification is recommended. Confirm the part fits your nameplate model before ordering.
