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.

Specifications

  • Function: Flowrator (piston) inlet / liquid feed tube
  • Application: Evaporator coil refrigerant metering circuit
  • Fit: Direct OEM replacement for ARPF193116BA
  • Material: Factory-spec copper tubing assembly
  • Brand: Goodman (Genuine OEM)
  • Part number: B1796630

OEM vs. Generic

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.

Installation Difficulty

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.

How do I replace the tubing on my Goodman ARPF193116BA — B1796630?
Refer to your equipment service manual for model-specific steps. General approach: turn off power, photograph connections, remove old part, install new part, restore power and test. For gas components, hire a licensed technician. Email info@nationalhvacparts.com for guidance.
What symptoms mean I need a new tubing?
Common symptoms: unusual noises, intermittent operation, complete failure, or visible damage. Visit our diagnostic hub for symptom-based troubleshooting.
Is this tubing compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Goodman parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Goodman tubing?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
