OEM vs. Generic

Refrigerant tubing must match exact diameter, length, and fitting type to seal properly and meter refrigerant correctly. The OEM B1796630 is built to factory spec — generic substitutes can cause leaks or improper metering. Always use OEM on the sealed system.

Install Difficulty

Advanced — professional only. Installation requires recovering refrigerant, brazing, and re-evacuating the system. EPA 608 certification is required. This is not a DIY repair.
