The Goodman 10716005 is a genuine OEM natural gas burner orifice engineered as an exact-fit replacement for the VCSS961005CNAA 96% AFUE two-stage gas furnace. The orifice (or spud) meters the precise flow of natural gas into each burner, ensuring a clean, efficient flame and correct BTU input. A worn, corroded, or incorrectly sized orifice can cause sooting, delayed ignition, or short-cycling — replacing it with the factory part restores rated performance.
Our OEM Goodman orifice is drilled to Goodman's exact factory bore for guaranteed BTU input and combustion safety. Generic aftermarket orifices are lower cost but bore tolerances can vary, risking improper gas metering. For a combustion component we recommend genuine OEM.
Moderate — requires shutting off gas and power, removing the burner assembly, and swapping the orifice. Gas-fired components should be serviced by a qualified HVAC technician, and a combustion analysis is recommended after replacement.
