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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowrator (metering device) inlet tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Goodman\/Amana ARUF061-00A-1B air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Routes liquid refrigerant to the coil metering restrictor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper refrigerant tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Air Handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003egenuine Goodman OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e inlet tube is sized and bent to match the ARUF061 coil and flowrator body precisely, so brazed joints line up without strain.
