The Goodman 10716003 is a genuine natural gas burner orifice (spud) for GMTH045-3A gas furnaces and compatible Goodman/Amana equipment. This precision-drilled brass fitting threads into the manifold and meters the exact volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, setting the flame size and firing rate. A clogged, corroded, or wrong-drill-size orifice causes weak flames, delayed ignition, sooting, or improper input — replacing it with the factory spud restores clean, spec-correct combustion.
Orifice drill size is safety-critical — it determines the furnace's BTU input. Genuine OEM guarantees the correct bore for the rated input on natural gas, so combustion stays within spec. Generic spuds with the wrong or inconsistent drill size can over- or under-fire the burner and create a carbon-monoxide risk. Always use OEM for gas-metering parts.
Rated Moderate — a licensed gas technician only. Shut off the gas and power, remove the manifold or burner assembly for access, unthread the old orifice, and install the new spud finger-tight plus a controlled snug turn. After reassembly, leak-test all joints and verify manifold pressure and flame appearance before returning the unit to service.
