This small but critical component delivers liquid refrigerant to the evaporator coil's metering device at the correct entry point, supporting proper refrigerant flow and rated cooling performance. A damaged, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can restrict flow and reduce capacity — replacing it with the factory part restores correct operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Flowrator inlet tube (refrigerant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Goodman AEPT060-00C-1 air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Feeds refrigerant to the coil flowrator\/metering device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Copper refrigerant tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a \u003cstrong\u003egenuine OEM Goodman\u003c\/strong\u003e part, this inlet tube matches the original's diameter, length, and bend geometry exactly, so it seats correctly to the coil and flowrator without modification. Generic tubing typically requires field bending and refitting, increasing the risk of restriction or leaks. For accurate metering and a clean braze joint, the OEM tube is the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficult\u003c\/strong\u003e — Refrigerant-circuit work: requires recovery of refrigerant, brazing, evacuation, and recharge per EPA Section 608.
