Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube

The Goodman B1796630 is a genuine OEM flowrator inlet tube designed for the ARUF032-00A-1A air handler. This precision tube feeds liquid refrigerant into the flowrator (piston-style metering device) at the evaporator coil inlet, ensuring the correct refrigerant flow and proper superheat across the coil. A damaged, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can restrict flow, reduce cooling capacity, and lead to coil freeze-ups.

Specifications

  • Part type: Flowrator inlet tube (refrigerant metering)
  • OEM part number: B1796630
  • Brand: Goodman
  • Equipment: Air Handler
  • Fits model: ARUF032-00A-1A
  • Fitment: Direct OEM replacement

OEM vs. Generic

Genuine Goodman tubing is manufactured to the exact diameter, length, and bend geometry required for correct mating with the factory flowrator and coil distributor. Generic tubing risks improper braze joints and refrigerant restriction. OEM ensures a clean, leak-tight connection and rated system performance.

Installation Difficulty: Advanced

This part is part of the sealed refrigerant circuit. Replacement requires EPA Section 608 certification, recovery of the system charge, brazing with nitrogen purge, evacuation, and recharging to the nameplate specification. This is a job for a licensed HVAC technician — improper installation can void warranties and damage the compressor.
