The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM replacement component for ARUF032-00A-1C air handlers. This inlet tube routes refrigerant into the flowrator (fixed-orifice) metering device at the indoor coil, ensuring correct refrigerant distribution and rated cooling performance. A cracked, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can cause refrigerant leaks, frost buildup, and poor cooling — replacing it with the exact factory part restores reliable operation.
This is the genuine Goodman OEM tube, formed to exact factory dimensions for a leak-free fit. Generic or universal tubing often requires re-bending and additional brazing that can introduce leaks or restrict flow. For a sealed refrigerant system, the OEM part is the safest choice.
Hard (Professional). Replacement involves recovering refrigerant, brazing, evacuating, and recharging the system — work that must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician.
