The orifice meters the precise volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, so a worn, corroded, or incorrectly sized orifice directly causes weak flame, delayed ignition, sooting, or nuisance flame-sensor lockouts. Installing the correct OEM orifice restores the manufacturer-rated BTU input and clean, blue burner flames.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel type: Natural Gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart function: Burner gas metering orifice \/ spud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Goodman\/Amana VMES960804CNAA and compatible 96% AFUE furnaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Machined brass for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfiguration: Threaded, drop-in replacement for OEM 10716005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOEM\u003c\/strong\u003e orifice is drilled to Goodman's factory gas-flow specification for this furnace's exact BTU rating — critical for safe, code-compliant combustion. Aftermarket \u003cstrong\u003egeneric\u003c\/strong\u003e orifices can vary in bore diameter, causing over- or under-firing.
