The Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube is a genuine OEM component for the ASPF313716AA air handler. The flowrator (piston-style metering device) inlet tube routes refrigerant into the metering orifice that feeds the evaporator coil. Correct tube geometry is essential for proper refrigerant distribution and rated cooling capacity.
The OEM tube is bent to the exact length and angle the coil assembly requires, so brazed joints align without stress. Generic tubing must be cut and formed by hand, introducing kinks and leak points that compromise system charge. For a reliable, leak-free metering connection, OEM is strongly recommended.
Hard / Professional. Installation involves recovering refrigerant, brazing, evacuating, and recharging the system. This is EPA Section 608 regulated work — should be performed only by a licensed HVAC technician.
