The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM refrigerant tubing component for the ARPF374316AA air handler and compatible Goodman/Amana evaporator coils. It feeds refrigerant into the flowrator (fixed-orifice metering device) at the coil inlet, ensuring the correct charge distribution across the coil circuits for proper cooling performance.
This small but critical tube is a common replacement during coil service, brazing repairs, or flowrator/piston changes. Using the correct OEM inlet tube guarantees the right diameter, length, and braze fit so the metering geometry stays within Goodman's specification.
The OEM B1796630 is dimensioned to match the factory flowrator bore and coil header. Generic tubing may differ in inner diameter or wall thickness, which can alter refrigerant flow and reduce capacity or efficiency. For a metering-side component, exact fit matters.
Difficulty: Advanced — Professional Required. Replacing this tube involves opening the sealed refrigerant system, recovering refrigerant, brazing, evacuating, and recharging. This work must be performed by an EPA-certified HVAC technician.
