The Goodman B1796630 is a genuine OEM flowrator inlet tube for the Goodman/Amana ARPF364216AA evaporator coil. It connects the liquid line to the flowrator (piston/orifice) metering device, delivering refrigerant to the distributor at the correct geometry so the coil meters flow evenly across all circuits.
Refrigerant metering depends on exact tube length and inside diameter — the OEM tube is sized to the coil's design. Substitute tubing can alter superheat and starve or flood the coil, hurting capacity and efficiency. For correct refrigerant feed, use the genuine OEM part.
Advanced. This is a sealed-system repair: recover refrigerant, braze the new inlet tube, pull a vacuum, and recharge to spec. EPA Section 608 certification and brazing tools are required. Plan 1–2 hours plus evacuation time. Not a DIY part — professional installation recommended.
