Goodman B1796630 Flowrator Inlet Tube

The Goodman B1796630 is a genuine OEM flowrator inlet tube used in the refrigerant metering assembly of WAHMS3642P4ABA air handlers. The flowrator (piston-style metering device) controls refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, and this inlet tube delivers liquid refrigerant to the metering piston at the correct port and angle. A correct tube is essential for proper superheat, coil temperature, and overall system efficiency.

Specifications

  • Function: Refrigerant inlet feed to flowrator metering device
  • Material: Copper refrigerant-grade tubing
  • Brazed connection compatible
  • Fits: Goodman WAHMS3642P4ABA air handlers
  • OEM part number: B1796630

OEM vs. Generic

Refrigerant-side components must match length, diameter, and fitting type precisely. The genuine Goodman B1796630 is sized to the factory coil circuit, preventing restriction or improper metering. Non-OEM tubes risk incorrect charge behavior and coil freezing.

Installation Difficulty

Advanced. Replacement requires recovering refrigerant, brazing, evacuating, and recharging the system — EPA 608 certification is required. This is a job for a licensed HVAC technician, not a DIY repair.
