The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Burner Orifice is a genuine OEM brass spud designed for the AMEC960804CNAD 96% AFUE gas furnace. The orifice threads into the manifold and meters the exact volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, controlling the furnace's BTU output and flame quality. Its precision-drilled bore is matched to the furnace's rated input and the standard natural-gas supply pressure, so replacing a worn, corroded, or debris-clogged orifice restores clean ignition, a stable blue flame, and rated heating capacity.
OEM vs. Generic: Orifice bore diameter is the single most important spec — even a few thousandths of an inch changes gas input and can cause sooting, delayed ignition, or overfiring. The OEM 10716005 is drilled to Goodman's exact specification. Generic orifices are riskier because bore sizing is inconsistent; for a combustion component, OEM is strongly recommended.
Install difficulty: Moderate (2/5). Turn off gas and power, remove the burner assembly or access the manifold, unscrew the old orifice, and thread in the replacement — do not overtighten brass. Because this is a gas component, verify for leaks with soap solution and confirm proper flame after installation; when in doubt, use a licensed HVAC technician.
