The flowrator inlet tube routes liquid refrigerant into the metering device feeding the evaporator coil, and a cracked, kinked, or corroded inlet tube can cause poor cooling, frosting, or refrigerant leaks. Replacing it with the factory part restores correct metering geometry and a leak-free brazed connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Type: Flowrator inlet tube (refrigerant metering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (Genuine OEM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipment: Air Handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Fit: ASPF426016AA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso fits: Select Goodman\/Amana ASPF-series air handlers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe genuine Goodman B1796630 is manufactured to factory tube diameter, wall thickness, and bend tolerances so it seats cleanly against the coil and metering device. Generic or fabricated substitutes often vary in diameter and temper, leading to restricted flow, braze-joint leaks, or improper subcooling. For a refrigerant-circuit part, OEM is strongly recommended to protect system performance and warranty coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty: Advanced (4\/5).\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a sealed-system repair. Refrigerant must be recovered, the old tube unbrazed, and the new tube brazed in under flowing nitrogen, followed by evacuation and recharge. EPA Section 608 certification and recovery equipment are required.
