Threaded into the manifold ahead of each burner, this precision-drilled orifice meters the exact volume of natural gas delivered to the flame — setting the furnace's BTU input for safe, efficient, correctly-sized combustion. Using the right orifice is critical: an incorrect bore can cause sooting, delayed ignition, or dangerous over-firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: 10716005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Goodman\/Amana AMEC960803BNAD gas furnace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel: Natural gas (NG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Precision-drilled gas metering orifice \/ spud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Machined brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: Burner assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (Amana equipment)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrifice bore size directly controls fuel input, so a generic or mislabeled spud risks under- or over-firing your furnace. This genuine OEM orifice is drilled to Goodman's factory bore for the AMEC960803BNAD, guaranteeing correct BTU input, clean burn, and warranty compliance. Never substitute an unverified orifice on a gas appliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModerate (3\/5) — gas work.\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires shutting off gas supply, removing the burner\/manifold access, and swapping the orifice with a properly-sized nut driver or socket. Roughly 20–40 minutes. Because this is a fuel-carrying component, leak-test all connections and, if unsure, have a licensed HVAC technician perform the replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goodman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63057575641459,"sku":"GOODMAN-4229","price":7.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nationalhvacparts.com\/products\/oem-goodman-natural-gas-orifice-for-amec960803bnad-10716005","provider":"National HVAC Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
