Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube

The B1796630 flowrator inlet tube is a genuine Goodman/Amana refrigerant-metering component for the AEPT030-00C-1 air handler. It routes liquid refrigerant into the flowrator (piston) metering device that feeds the evaporator coil, ensuring the correct refrigerant charge reaches the coil for efficient heat transfer. A kinked, corroded, or mismatched inlet tube restricts flow, causing poor cooling, coil icing, and higher energy bills.

Specifications

Function: Liquid-line feed to flowrator metering device
Fits: AEPT030-00C-1 air handler
Brand fit: Goodman, Amana
Material: Copper refrigerant tube
Part number: B1796630

OEM vs. Generic

As a factory OEM part, this tube is pre-formed to the exact bend radius and length the cabinet requires, so it connects to the flowrator and distributor without re-bending. Generic copper stock can be made to work but introduces alignment stress and braze-joint risk. OEM keeps the refrigerant path clean and leak-free.

Installation Difficulty

Advanced. Requires recovering refrigerant, brazing connections, evacuating, and recharging the system. This is EPA Section 608 work — installation by a certified HVAC technician is required.
