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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Flowrator (piston) inlet \/ liquid feed tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Evaporator coil refrigerant metering circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit: Direct OEM replacement for ARPF193116BA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Factory-spec copper tubing assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (Genuine OEM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOEM tubing matches the factory length, bend radius, and fitting size so it brazes or connects cleanly without strain on the coil header.
