The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering component for ARPF182416AA evaporator coils. The flowrator (piston-style metering device) housing tube feeds liquid refrigerant into the coil at the correct rate, ensuring proper superheat and efficient heat exchange. A correctly matched inlet tube is critical to system performance and capacity.
Metering components must match the coil's designed orifice and tubing geometry. This factory-original Goodman tube guarantees the correct bore and braze fittings for the ARPF182416AA. Generic tubing risks incorrect refrigerant flow, poor cooling, and compressor strain. For a sealed refrigerant system, OEM precision is strongly recommended.
Advanced — Replacement requires opening the sealed refrigerant circuit: recovery, brazing, evacuation, and recharge. This is an EPA Section 608–certified technician task. Not a DIY repair unless you hold refrigerant-handling certification and the proper tools.
