The Goodman B1796632 Seal and Nut (3/8 inch) is genuine OEM fitting hardware for Goodman AEPF18301BA air handlers. This small but critical assembly creates a leak-tight joint at a 3/8" refrigerant or fluid connection. Reusing a deformed seal or an over-torqued nut is a frequent source of slow leaks — installing the correct OEM seal-and-nut set restores a positive, factory-spec seal.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: B1796632
Type: Seal and nut assembly
Size: 3/8 inch
Primary Fit: AEPF18301BA
Brand: Goodman (OEM)
Function: Leak-tight fitting at 3/8" connection point

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM B1796632 matches the exact thread pitch, seat profile, and seal durometer specified for the unit, so it torques to spec without distorting. Generic hardware-store nuts and washers may thread on but rarely seal reliably under refrigerant pressure and temperature cycling. For any pressurized fitting, the matched OEM seal is cheap insurance against a callback.

Installation Difficulty

Easy to Moderate (2/5). A straightforward seal replacement at the fitting, but torque to specification and leak-check the joint afterward. If the fitting is part of a sealed refrigerant circuit, follow proper recovery and recharge procedures. Best handled by a qualified HVAC technician.
