The flowrator (piston-style metering device) and its inlet tube feed liquid refrigerant into the evaporator coil at the correct rate. A damaged, kinked, or mismatched inlet tube can starve or flood the coil, hurting capacity and efficiency, so the factory-correct tube matters for proper metering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowrator inlet tube (refrigerant metering line)\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 Routes liquid refrigerant to the flowrator\/coil inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOEM B1796630\u003c\/strong\u003e arrives with the correct length, bend, and fitting diameter to braze cleanly into the existing line set and seat against the flowrator.
