The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering component for AEPF313716AA air handlers. The flowrator (piston-style metering device) inlet tube routes liquid refrigerant into the metering orifice ahead of the evaporator coil, ensuring correct refrigerant distribution for efficient cooling. A damaged, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can restrict flow and degrade system performance, so an exact OEM replacement keeps the metering circuit operating to spec.
The OEM B1796630 is formed to the exact length, bend, and fitting required for the AEPF313716AA flowrator assembly, ensuring leak-free brazing and correct refrigerant feed. Generic tubing must be cut and bent by hand, risking improper routing and joint failures. OEM is recommended for sealed-system reliability.
Advanced (4/5). Requires refrigerant recovery, brazing, evacuation, and recharge by an EPA-certified technician. Sealed-system work should not be attempted without proper tools and certification.
