The Goodman B1789851 Piston Kit is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering device engineered for the Goodman ANZ130181AA heat pump. The fixed-orifice piston regulates refrigerant flow into the coil, ensuring correct superheat, efficient heat transfer, and reliable heating and cooling performance. An incorrectly sized or worn piston is a common cause of poor capacity, iced coils, and high energy bills — installing the factory-matched orifice restores the system to its designed specification.
This is a genuine Goodman OEM part with a factory-calibrated orifice bore precisely matched to the ANZ130181AA charge and coil. Generic pistons are cheaper but frequently ship with a nominal bore size that deviates from spec, causing charge and superheat problems. For a metering device, exact bore accuracy matters — we recommend OEM for guaranteed system performance.
Difficulty: Advanced (EPA-certified technician required). Replacing a piston requires recovering the refrigerant, opening the sealed system, swapping the orifice at the liquid line connection, evacuating to a deep vacuum, and recharging by weight or subcooling. This is not a DIY repair — improper handling of refrigerant is illegal without EPA 608 certification and can damage the compressor.
