This tube carries liquid refrigerant from the liquid line into the metering device, where it is restricted and distributed to the coil. A kinked, corroded, or improperly brazed inlet tube disrupts the refrigerant charge and metering, causing poor cooling, frosting, and capacity loss.\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\u003eComponent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowrator (metering device) inlet tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refrigerant \/ liquid-line side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e WAHMS4961P4AAA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Air Handler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Goodman (Amana family)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003egenuine OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e tube matches the factory diameter, length, and bend geometry so it aligns with the flowrator body and liquid line without strain on the joints.
