The Goodman B1796630 is a genuine OEM flowrator inlet tube for the Goodman ADPF486016AB evaporator coil. This copper refrigerant line carries metered refrigerant from the flowrator (piston metering device) into the coil circuit, ensuring correct distribution and efficient heat transfer. A kinked, corroded, or leaking inlet tube reduces capacity, causes uneven coil frosting, and can trigger refrigerant loss — replacing it with the factory part restores proper flow and system performance.
The OEM tube is pre-formed to the exact length, bend radius, and fitting size required by the ADPF486016AB coil and flowrator body. Generic or hand-bent substitutes risk improper seating, leaks at the braze joints, and altered metering. For a reliable, leak-tight refrigerant repair, the genuine B1796630 is recommended.
Rating: Difficult (4 of 5). This is a sealed-system repair: it requires EPA Section 608 certification, recovery of refrigerant, brazing the new tube, pulling a vacuum, and recharging to the nameplate charge. This should be performed by a licensed HVAC professional only.
