The flowrator (piston-style metering device) regulates refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, and this inlet tube delivers liquid refrigerant from the line set to that metering device. A kinked, corroded, or leaking tube disrupts the refrigerant charge and starves the coil — this OEM replacement restores proper metering and cooling capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: B1796630\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent type: Flowrator (metering device) inlet tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Routes liquid refrigerant to the evaporator metering device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Goodman\/Amana ATUF486016AA air handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Copper refrigerant tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe OEM B1796630 arrives in the correct length, bend, and fitting size to mate with your flowrator and line set without rework. Field-fabricated or universal tubing risks improper flare seating and refrigerant leaks.
