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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: B1796632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Seal and nut set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Model: ARPF486016AA air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman \/ Amana OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Leak-tight fitting connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOEM seals are sized to the exact fitting profile and pressure rating of the Goodman assembly, giving a reliable seat at factory torque.
