The Goodman 10716003 is a genuine OEM natural-gas burner orifice (spud) for the WFM18070S3AXCC gas furnace. The orifice threads into the gas manifold and meters the precise flow of natural gas into each in-shot burner. Its drill size sets the BTU input and the air/fuel ratio, so using the exact factory orifice is essential for clean combustion, proper flame color, and rated efficiency. Damaged threads, an enlarged bore from cleaning with wire, or the wrong drill size will throw off the burn.
Orifice bore is drilled to a specific number for this furnace's rated input and local altitude assumptions. A generic orifice with a different drill size changes the firing rate and can cause sooting, rollout, or under-firing. This is a combustion-critical part — install the OEM orifice matched to your fuel type (do not use a natural-gas orifice on an LP conversion).
Easy to Moderate — Threads into the manifold and tightens with a wrench (typically 10–15 minutes). Shut off gas and power, use a proper wrench to avoid rounding the flats, and leak-check with soap solution after re-lighting.
