This precision tube feeds refrigerant into the flowrator (piston) metering device at the evaporator coil inlet, ensuring correct refrigerant distribution for efficient heat transfer. A damaged, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can disrupt metering and reduce cooling performance, so the factory-spec replacement keeps your system charged and operating correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent: Flowrator (piston) inlet tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Refrigerant metering at coil inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Model: Goodman AEPF426016CA air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (genuine OEM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe genuine Goodman tube matches the exact diameter, length, and fitting required for a leak-free brazed connection and correct metering position.
