The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is the genuine OEM refrigerant metering tube for AEPT030 series air handlers. It feeds liquid refrigerant into the flowrator (fixed-orifice metering device) at the evaporator coil, ensuring correct refrigerant distribution and rated cooling performance.
This genuine OEM tube is pre-bent to the exact geometry of your coil so it aligns with the flowrator and distributor without re-forming. Generic copper stock must be cut and bent by hand, introducing kink and leak risk at the brazed joints.
Difficulty: Advanced. Requires recovering refrigerant, brazing the tube into the circuit, pulling a vacuum, and recharging. This is a licensed-tech job — refrigerant handling requires EPA 608 certification.
