Goodman B1796632 3/8" Seal and Nut Kit

The Goodman B1796632 is a genuine OEM 3/8-inch seal and nut assembly engineered for the ARUF042-00A-1 air handler and compatible Goodman/Amana models. This small but critical component creates a leak-tight connection at refrigerant or condensate fittings, preventing air bypass and moisture intrusion that can degrade efficiency over time. Using the factory-spec seal ensures a proper fit the first time and protects the surrounding components from corrosion and leaks.

OEM vs. Generic

Our genuine Goodman OEM seal is machined to exact factory tolerances, guaranteeing a precise 3/8" fit and consistent sealing pressure. Aftermarket generics may save a few cents but often vary in dimension and material durometer, leading to slow leaks and repeat repairs. For a sealing component, OEM is the safer long-term choice.

Installation Difficulty

Easy — A basic DIY repair for anyone comfortable with a wrench. Disconnect power, replace the seal and nut, and torque to spec. Typically completed in under 15 minutes.
