The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering component engineered for the Goodman ADPF18241BA evaporator coil and compatible air conditioning systems. This inlet tube routes liquid refrigerant into the flowrator (piston-style metering device), ensuring the correct refrigerant charge reaches the evaporator for proper cooling performance. A cracked, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can cause refrigerant leaks, poor cooling, and short-cycling — making timely replacement with the exact OEM part essential.
This genuine Goodman OEM tube is manufactured to factory tolerances for an exact braze-fit and correct internal bore — guaranteeing the designed refrigerant flow rate. Generic or aftermarket tubes may vary in diameter, wall thickness, or length, risking improper metering, leaks at the braze joint, and voided warranty coverage. For refrigerant-side components, OEM is strongly recommended.
Advanced (Pro Recommended). Replacement requires recovering the system refrigerant, brazing the new tube, pulling a vacuum, and recharging. This work must be performed by an EPA 608–certified HVAC technician. Estimated labor: 1–2 hours.
