This short refrigerant tube connects the liquid line to the flowrator (piston-style metering device) at the evaporator coil inlet, ensuring refrigerant enters the metering orifice cleanly and at the correct angle. A kinked, corroded, or damaged inlet tube can restrict flow, cause uneven coil feeding, and degrade cooling capacity. Replacing it with the factory part restores proper refrigerant delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e B1796630 (OEM Goodman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowrator (metering device) inlet connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evaporator coil refrigerant feed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e AEPT030-00C-1A and compatible Goodman\/Amana air handlers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seamless copper refrigerant tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe genuine Goodman \u003cstrong\u003eB1796630\u003c\/strong\u003e arrives pre-formed to the correct length and bend so it lines up to the flowrator and liquid line without rework.
