The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Burner Orifice is a genuine OEM burner spud precision-drilled for correct natural-gas metering on the Goodman/Amana VMES960603BNAA gas furnace. The orifice threads into the manifold and sets the exact gas flow to each burner — its drill size directly determines BTU input, flame quality, and combustion efficiency. A worn, corroded, or incorrectly sized orifice causes poor flame, sooting, or improper firing rate.
OEM vs. Generic: Orifice sizing is not interchangeable — the OEM 10716005 is drilled to the precise diameter Goodman engineered for this furnace's rated input at standard manifold pressure. A generic or wrong-size orifice will over- or under-fire the appliance, which is both an efficiency and a safety concern. Always match the OEM part unless converting fuel with a listed kit.
Install Difficulty: Moderate (3/5). Requires shutting off gas, removing the burner assembly, and replacing the spud with proper thread sealant rating. A combustion check is recommended after install. Best performed by a qualified HVAC technician.
