The flowrator (piston-style metering device) regulates refrigerant flow into the indoor coil, and this inlet tube carries liquid refrigerant from the line set to the metering orifice. A correct, leak-free inlet tube is essential for proper superheat, capacity, and efficiency. Damaged or kinked tubing causes poor cooling, frosting, and refrigerant loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (fits Amana equivalents)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent: Flowrator \/ metering device inlet tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: ARUF042-00A-1B series air handler coils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Delivers liquid refrigerant to the metering orifice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003egenuine Goodman OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e tube matches the precise diameter, length, and braze fittings of the ARUF042 coil assembly.
