The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM refrigerant component for the AEPF426016BA air handler. The flowrator (piston-style metering device) tube routes liquid refrigerant into the metering orifice at the evaporator coil, ensuring the correct flow rate for efficient heat exchange. A damaged, kinked, or contaminated inlet tube can cause poor cooling, frozen coils, or improper refrigerant distribution — making the correct OEM tube essential to system performance.

Specifications

  • OEM Part Number: B1796630
  • Type: Flowrator inlet tube
  • Compatible Model: AEPF426016BA air handler
  • Function: Routes liquid refrigerant to the metering device
  • Application: Evaporator coil inlet

OEM vs. Generic

This genuine Goodman tube is manufactured to exact length, diameter, and fitting specifications. Generic substitutes risk improper braze joints and refrigerant leaks. OEM ensures a leak-tight connection and the precise geometry the coil assembly was designed around.

Installation

Difficulty: Professional recommended. Replacing refrigerant-side tubing requires recovering refrigerant, brazing, evacuating, and recharging the system — work that must be performed by an EPA-certified HVAC technician. Improper handling can damage the system and violate refrigerant-handling regulations.
