The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Burner Orifice is a genuine OEM brass spud that meters natural-gas flow into the burner of the VCES800603AXAA gas furnace. The precise machined bore sizes the gas jet to Goodman's rated input (BTU) for natural gas, ensuring a clean, stable flame and proper combustion. A worn, corroded, or wrong-size orifice causes yellow flames, sooting, noise, or improper heat output.
The OEM orifice is drilled to the exact size for this model's natural-gas input rating. Generic or mismatched orifices — or an LP orifice installed on a natural-gas unit — will over- or under-fire the burner, creating a serious combustion and carbon-monoxide risk. For a fuel-metering component, always match the OEM part and gas type.
Moderate (3/5). Shut off the gas supply and power. Remove the manifold/burner assembly, unthread the old orifice, and install the new spud snugly without over-torquing (brass strips easily). Reassemble, leak-check every joint with soap solution, and verify flame quality. About 30–45 minutes. Gas work should be performed by, or verified by, a licensed technician.
