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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart type: Flowrator inlet \/ metering tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM part number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (genuine OEM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary fit: ADPF486016AB evaporator coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Copper refrigerant tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Carries metered refrigerant to the coil circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe OEM tube is pre-formed to the exact length, bend radius, and fitting size required by the ADPF486016AB coil and flowrator body.
