The Goodman B1789865 is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering piston (flowrator/orifice) kit for the ASH130301A heat pump. This small but critical component meters the exact flow of refrigerant into the coil, setting the system's superheat and subcooling. The correct orifice bore size is essential to proper capacity, efficiency, and compressor protection.
Pistons are routinely replaced during coil changes, refrigerant conversions, or when a system shows poor cooling/heating performance traced to an incorrect or clogged orifice. Using the factory-specified bore keeps the ASH130301A operating at its rated SEER and capacity.
The genuine B1789865 is bored to the precise orifice size Goodman engineered for this unit's tonnage and refrigerant. A generic piston with the wrong bore will over- or under-feed the coil, causing flooding, starving, high head pressure, or lost capacity. The OEM piston guarantees the correct metering for the ASH130301A.
Professional / Advanced — Replacing the piston requires recovering the refrigerant, opening the liquid line at the metering fitting, seating the new piston with the correct orientation, then evacuating and recharging. This is EPA-regulated refrigerant work best left to a licensed HVAC technician.
