The Goodman B1796630 is a genuine flowrator inlet tube engineered as a direct-fit replacement for ARPF193116BA air handlers and compatible Goodman/Amana coils. The flowrator (piston-style metering device) inlet tube carries liquid refrigerant to the metering orifice at the evaporator coil. A kinked, corroded, or contaminated inlet tube disrupts refrigerant metering, causing poor cooling, freeze-ups, and high superheat. This OEM tube restores correct refrigerant flow.
OEM tubing matches the factory length, bend radius, and fitting size so it brazes or connects cleanly without strain on the coil header. Generic tubes may differ in diameter or flare, risking leaks at a refrigerant joint where reliability is critical. The genuine B1796630 ensures a tight, correctly metered connection.
Advanced — refrigerant work required. The system must be recovered, the tube brazed or fitted, the circuit evacuated, and the charge weighed back in. This is EPA Section 608 certified work. We strongly recommend a licensed HVAC technician; opening a sealed refrigerant system without proper recovery is illegal and unsafe.
