This inlet tube delivers liquid refrigerant into the flowrator (fixed-orifice) metering device that feeds the evaporator coil, maintaining correct refrigerant distribution and rated cooling capacity. A kinked, corroded, or restricted inlet tube can cause weak cooling, coil frosting, or abnormal subcooling — the exact OEM replacement restores factory performance.\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: ARUF042-00A-1\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 \u003cstrong\u003egenuine OEM Goodman\u003c\/strong\u003e tube is built to the factory's exact length, bend radius, and fitting size for a leak-free brazed connection.
