The flowrator (piston-style metering device) inlet tube routes liquid refrigerant into the metering piston for proper distribution across the coil. A damaged, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can cause poor metering, low capacity, and uneven cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: flowrator inlet tube \/ liquid line stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: feeds the refrigerant metering piston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit: OEM direct replacement for ADPF304216AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe OEM inlet tube is bent and sized to match Goodman's coil geometry and piston seat exactly, ensuring a clean brazed joint and correct metering.
