The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Burner Orifice is a genuine OEM metering spud designed for the VCES960804CNAA gas furnace. This small brass component threads into the manifold and precisely meters the volume of natural gas delivered to each burner. Its drill size is factory-calibrated to hold the furnace at its rated BTU input, ensuring a clean, stable blue flame, complete combustion, and safe, efficient heating.
OEM vs. Generic: The OEM 10716005 arrives drilled to Goodman's exact specification for this model, so BTU input and flame characteristics match the equipment as manufactured. A generic equivalent is available at a lower cost; if you choose it, confirm the stamped orifice number/drill size is identical, because even one drill size off will alter the firing rate and combustion quality.
Install difficulty: Easy (2/5). Turn off the gas and power, remove the burner assembly or manifold as needed, and unthread the old orifice with a properly sized nut driver or socket — avoid pliers, which round the flats. Thread in the new spud snugly without overtightening. After installation, verify manifold pressure and inspect the flame for a crisp blue cone. If you are not comfortable working on gas-carrying components, have a licensed HVAC technician perform the swap.
