The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM refrigerant tube that feeds the flowrator (piston) metering device on the ARPF364216BA evaporator coil. It carries liquid refrigerant from the liquid line into the distributor, where the flowrator meters flow into the coil circuits. A kinked, corroded, or leaking inlet tube starves the coil and kills cooling capacity — the OEM tube restores the correct connection geometry and a leak-tight joint.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: B1796630
Type: Flowrator (metering device) inlet tube
Function: Routes liquid refrigerant to the coil distributor/piston
Brand: Goodman (also fits Amana branded units)
Primary Fit: ARPF364216BA air handler coil
Material: Copper refrigerant tubing

OEM vs. Generic

This OEM Goodman tube is bent and sized to mate exactly with the factory distributor and liquid-line connection. Generic copper rarely matches the bend radius and fitting size, risking restriction or a strained brazed joint. The OEM part ensures clean alignment and a reliable seal.

Installation Difficulty

Hard (4/5). Requires recovering refrigerant, brazing connections, pulling a vacuum, and recharging — a job for an EPA-certified HVAC technician only. Plan for 1–2 hours including evacuation. Improper brazing or charging will damage the system.
