The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Orifice is a genuine OEM burner spud for the Goodman ACEC960603BNAB. Threaded into the gas manifold, the orifice meters the precise volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, setting the firing rate and ensuring clean, efficient combustion. The drilled orifice size is matched to the unit's input BTU rating and fuel type — using the correct orifice is essential for proper flame, efficiency, and safe operation.
OEM vs. Generic: Orifice drill size directly controls BTU output and combustion safety. The OEM 10716005 is factory-drilled to Goodman's exact spec for this model on natural gas. A generic or wrong-sized orifice can cause over-firing, sooting, or incomplete combustion. For gas-train components, always install the OEM-spec orifice.
Install Difficulty: Moderate (3/5). Shut off gas and power, remove the manifold/burner assembly, unthread the old spud, and install the new orifice — do not over-tighten. Leak-test all gas connections with soap solution before relighting. Best performed by a qualified HVAC technician; about 30 minutes.
