The B1789865 is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering piston — often called a flowrator — designed for the Goodman ASZ130301AG 13 SEER, 2.5-ton heat pump. The piston seats inside the metering device body and controls the precise flow of R-410A into the coil. Its fixed orifice diameter is matched to the tonnage of the unit; using the wrong bore size causes flooding or starvation, poor subcooling, and lost capacity in both heating and cooling modes.
The OEM B1789865 ships with the exact bore size Goodman specifies for this coil-and-condenser pairing. Generic piston assortments are inexpensive but require you to cross-reference the correct drill size — an easy place to introduce a performance fault. At this price point, the OEM piston removes the guesswork.
Advanced (4/5) — Requires EPA 608 certification. The refrigerant must be recovered, the metering device body opened, the piston swapped and re-sealed, then the system evacuated and recharged. Small part, but it lives inside the sealed refrigerant circuit — leave it to a licensed technician.
