The Goodman B1789852 piston kit is the OEM refrigerant metering device engineered for the ASH130181A 13 SEER heat pump and compatible Goodman/Amana condensing units. This flowrator-style fixed orifice controls the flow of R-410A refrigerant into the outdoor coil, ensuring the correct pressure drop and superheat for efficient heating and cooling. Using the factory-specified piston size is critical — an incorrectly bored orifice causes poor capacity, high head pressure, or compressor stress.
Generic pistons ship as universal orifice sets that require you to match the bore number by hand. The genuine OEM B1789852 arrives pre-sized to Goodman's engineering spec, eliminating guesswork and protecting your compressor warranty. For a metering device, exact bore diameter is non-negotiable.
Rating: Moderate (EPA certification required). Replacing a piston requires recovering the system refrigerant, opening the sealed circuit, swapping the orifice inside the liquid-line fitting, then evacuating and recharging. This is a job for an EPA Section 608 certified technician. Verify subcooling and superheat against the Goodman spec sheet before returning the unit to service.
Every piston kit we ship is a genuine Goodman OEM component backed by our fit guarantee.
