The Goodman B1789857 Piston Kit is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering device (flow restrictor) matched to the ASZ130241AD 2-ton 13 SEER heat pump. The piston seats inside the liquid-line fitting and meters refrigerant into the coil through a precisely sized orifice, setting the correct pressure drop for proper superheat and subcooling. An incorrectly sized or worn piston causes poor capacity, high head pressure, or coil flooding — so exact orifice sizing matters.
OEM vs. Generic: Goodman calibrates this piston's orifice diameter to the ASZ13 system's tonnage and refrigerant charge. Installing a generic piston with the wrong bore throws off superheat and subcooling, hurting efficiency and risking compressor damage. OEM guarantees the factory-specified flow rate.
Install difficulty: Hard (4/5) — Professional recommended. The system must be recovered and evacuated to open the liquid-line connection, the piston swapped, and the system re-vacuumed and recharged. This requires EPA 608 certification and gauges to verify pressures. Not a DIY job for anyone without refrigerant-handling equipment.
Verify your model and serial number before ordering. Genuine Goodman quality for accurate refrigerant metering.
