The Goodman B1796630 is a genuine OEM flowrator inlet tube engineered as a direct, exact-fit replacement for the ARPT032-00C-1C air handler. This tube routes refrigerant into the flowrator (fixed-orifice) metering device at the evaporator coil inlet, ensuring proper refrigerant distribution and metering across the coil. A correctly seated inlet tube prevents leaks, capacity loss, and coil icing.
This is the genuine Goodman OEM component, manufactured to factory tolerances for a leak-tight, drop-in fit. Generic substitutes may require rebending, adapters, or additional brazing and can compromise metering accuracy. For warranty-sensitive repairs and reliable system performance, the OEM tube is the recommended choice.
Advanced — refrigerant-side work requiring brazing, recovery, evacuation, and recharge. This repair should be performed by an EPA 608-certified HVAC technician.
