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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e B1796632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seal and nut assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e AEPF18301BA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Goodman (OEM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leak-tight fitting at 3\/8\" connection point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOEM B1796632\u003c\/strong\u003e matches the exact thread pitch, seat profile, and seal durometer specified for the unit, so it torques to spec without distorting.
