Goodman B1796632 Seal and Nut (3/8 inch)

The Goodman B1796632 is a genuine OEM 3/8-inch seal and nut assembly for the ARUF032-00A-1A air handler. This fitting creates a leak-tight mechanical seal on the 3/8-inch refrigerant or flowrator connection, maintaining system pressure integrity and preventing refrigerant loss at the joint. Worn seals are a frequent source of slow refrigerant leaks that degrade cooling performance over time.

Specifications

Brand: Goodman
Equipment: Air Handler

OEM vs. Generic

The genuine Goodman seal is machined to the exact thread pitch and sealing-surface profile of the factory fitting. Aftermarket nuts and seals can cross-thread or fail to seat fully, causing persistent leaks. OEM guarantees a proper torque-down and a durable, refrigerant-rated seal.

Installation Difficulty: Moderate

Replacement involves recovering refrigerant from the affected section, removing the old nut and seal, and torquing the new fitting to spec. Because it touches the sealed refrigerant circuit, EPA 608 certification is recommended. A trained DIYer can replace it during a service call, but pressure-testing the joint afterward is essential.
