The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Burner Orifice (spud) is a genuine OEM metering jet engineered for the Goodman ACEC800603AXAA gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. The orifice precisely meters the volume of natural gas delivered into each burner, setting the correct air-fuel mixture for clean, efficient combustion. A factory-drilled orifice is critical — even a fractional change in bore size affects BTU input, flame quality, and combustion safety.
OEM vs. Generic: The genuine OEM 10716005 is drilled to the exact orifice size specified for this furnace's manifold pressure and burner design. Generic orifices are often sold by approximate drill number and may not match the factory metering, risking over- or under-firing, sooting, or a tripped limit. For a combustion component, OEM precision is strongly recommended.
Installation difficulty: Moderate (★★★☆☆). Shut off gas and power, remove the burner assembly, and thread the new orifice into the manifold. Because this is a gas-carrying part, verify for leaks with a soap solution and confirm proper flame appearance after install. If you are not comfortable working with gas connections, use a licensed HVAC technician.
