The flowrator (piston) inlet tube routes liquid refrigerant into the metering device that feeds the evaporator coil, making it a small but critical part of proper system charge and cooling performance. Using the correct factory tube ensures the brazed joints, diameter, and length match the coil circuit exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowrator (piston) inlet tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e ARPF18241BA Goodman\/Amana air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefrigerant:\u003c\/strong\u003e R-410A compatible copper tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine Goodman \/ Amana OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a true factory-spec part, not a universal substitute. Generic copper tube kits require field cutting and bending and rarely match the original circuit geometry, which can lead to refrigerant flow restrictions or leak-prone joints. The OEM B1796630 drops in with the correct stub length and orientation, protecting your warranty and saving brazing rework.
