The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering component for Goodman AEPF30361AA air handlers. It feeds refrigerant into the flowrator (piston) distributor at the evaporator coil, ensuring correct metering, proper superheat, and efficient cooling performance. Replace a kinked, corroded, or leaking inlet tube to restore full system capacity.
This OEM tube is sized to the exact bore and length required for correct refrigerant metering. Generic substitutes can alter flow characteristics and lead to poor superheat control or coil flooding. OEM preserves the engineered performance of the system.
Advanced (4/5) — Requires opening the sealed refrigerant circuit, brazing, evacuation, and recharging. EPA Section 608 certification recommended. This is a professional HVAC repair; recover refrigerant before service.
