This inlet tube routes liquid refrigerant into the flowrator (fixed-orifice) metering device feeding the evaporator coil, ensuring correct refrigerant distribution and rated cooling performance. A worn, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can cause poor cooling, frosting, or improper subcooling — replacing it with the exact OEM part restores factory specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent: Flowrator (metering) inlet tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Model: ARUF036-00A-1A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipment Type: Air Handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (OEM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Copper refrigerant-grade tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003egenuine OEM Goodman\u003c\/strong\u003e part built to the factory's exact length, bend radius, and fitting dimensions, guaranteeing a leak-free brazed connection.
