The flowrator (piston-style metering device) regulates refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, and the inlet tube provides the precise, leak-tight connection to the liquid line. A worn, kinked, or restricted inlet tube can cause poor cooling, frost on the coil, and high head pressure — replacing it with the correct OEM part restores rated performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Type: Flowrator inlet tube (refrigerant tubing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Model: AEPF42601AA air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Copper \/ brazed refrigerant-grade tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Liquid-line metering connection at evaporator coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003egenuine Goodman OEM tube\u003c\/strong\u003e, manufactured to the exact length, diameter, and bend geometry specified for the AEPF42601AA.
