It connects the refrigerant line to the flowrator (piston) metering device at the coil inlet, ensuring proper refrigerant distribution into the evaporator. A damaged or kinked inlet tube restricts flow and degrades cooling performance, so a precise OEM replacement keeps the system metering correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Flowrator (piston) inlet tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Refrigerant feed to coil metering device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Goodman\/Amana ARPF193116AA air handler coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM part number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipment: Air Handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eOEM\u003c\/strong\u003e tube is sized and bent to factory dimensions for a leak-free brazed fit.
