The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM refrigerant-side component for the Goodman/Amana ARUF061-00A-1B air handler. The flowrator (piston-style metering device) inlet tube carries liquid refrigerant into the metering restrictor at the evaporator coil, ensuring the correct flow and pressure drop for proper coil performance. A damaged, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can cause poor cooling, frosting, or refrigerant leaks.
This genuine Goodman OEM inlet tube is sized and bent to match the ARUF061 coil and flowrator body precisely, so brazed joints line up without strain. Generic tubing requires field bending and refitting that can introduce kinks or stress cracks. For a leak-tight refrigerant connection, OEM is the safe choice.
Advanced — professional install required. This is a sealed-system refrigerant part. Replacement involves refrigerant recovery, brazing, evacuation, and recharge, and must be performed by an EPA Section 608-certified technician. Improper handling can damage the system and violates EPA regulations.
