The Goodman B1796632 Seal and Nut (3/8 inch) is a genuine OEM sealing set used to create a leak-tight 3/8-inch connection on the ARPF486016AA air handler and compatible Goodman/Amana coil assemblies. The matched seal and nut maintain a positive, vibration-resistant joint at the refrigerant or drain fitting — a small but critical part, since a worn or missing seal is a frequent source of slow leaks and nuisance service calls. Replacing both pieces together ensures proper torque seating and a fresh sealing face.

OEM vs. Generic

OEM seals are sized to the exact fitting profile and pressure rating of the Goodman assembly, giving a reliable seat at factory torque. Generic seals and nuts may differ slightly in thread pitch or seal-face geometry, which can lead to weeps or cross-threading. For a part this inexpensive, genuine is the safe choice.

Installation Difficulty: Easy

Straightforward swap with basic hand tools once the connection is accessible. Tighten to the specified torque and leak-check after assembly. Most homeowners with HVAC experience or any technician can complete it in minutes.
