The Goodman B1789851 Piston Kit is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering device (flow restrictor / fixed orifice) for the ASZ130181AG heat pump. The piston meters refrigerant flow into the coil, controlling the pressure drop that allows the refrigerant to evaporate and absorb heat. Each piston is bored to a precise orifice diameter matched to the system tonnage; using the wrong size causes flooding, starving, poor capacity, and inefficient operation.

Specifications

  • Part Type: Piston / Fixed-Orifice Metering Device
  • OEM Part Number: B1789851
  • Brand: Goodman
  • Compatible Equipment: ASZ130181AG heat pump
  • Equipment Type: Heat Pump (13 SEER two-stage)
  • Function: Refrigerant flow metering (precision-bored orifice)

OEM vs. Generic

Because piston sizing is measured in thousandths of an inch, using the OEM Goodman piston guarantees the exact orifice diameter engineered for the ASZ13 coil and charge. Generic or mis-sized pistons are the leading cause of poor superheat/subcooling and comfort complaints. This is one component where OEM matching is essential.

Install Difficulty

Moderate to Difficult — Professional Recommended. Access requires recovering refrigerant, opening the metering device housing, swapping the piston and seal, then evacuating and recharging the system. Requires EPA Section 608 certification.
