The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Orifice is a genuine OEM burner jet (spud) precision-drilled for natural gas service on the ACVC961005CNBA furnace and related Goodman/Amana high-efficiency models. The orifice meters the exact gas flow to each burner, setting the correct BTU input and flame quality for safe, efficient combustion.
OEM vs. Generic: The orifice bore size directly controls firing rate — an incorrectly drilled generic jet can over-fire or under-fire the furnace, causing sooting, flame rollout, or a tripped limit. Genuine Goodman orifices are gauged to the model's rating, so input stays within spec. Always use the OEM drill size for your altitude and gas type.
Install Difficulty: Moderate (3/5) — requires shutting off gas, removing the burner assembly, and verifying manifold pressure. Professional installation recommended; combustion gas work should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician.
