The genuine Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is an OEM refrigerant metering component for Goodman and Amana AEPT036-00C-1 air handlers. The flowrator (piston-style metering device) and its inlet tube control refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, maintaining proper superheat and cooling capacity. Replace this tube when it is kinked, corroded, or restricted, or whenever the metering assembly is serviced to restore correct system performance.

OEM vs. Generic

This genuine Goodman OEM tube is sized and bent to factory specification so it mates precisely with the flowrator body and coil inlet. Generic tubing may differ in diameter, length, or fitting type, causing refrigerant leaks or incorrect metering. The OEM part ensures a leak-tight braze joint and the intended flow characteristics.

Installation Difficulty

Advanced (4 of 5). This is a sealed-system repair requiring an EPA-certified technician. The job involves recovering refrigerant, brazing the new tube into the metering assembly, pulling a vacuum, and recharging to the nameplate charge. Improper installation can damage the compressor — always follow manufacturer procedures and local refrigerant-handling regulations.
