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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart type: Flowrator inlet tube (refrigerant metering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM part number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipment: Air Handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits model: ARUF032-00A-1A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Direct OEM replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Goodman tubing is manufactured to the exact diameter, length, and bend geometry required for correct mating with the factory flowrator and coil distributor.
