The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Orifice is a genuine OEM burner component engineered specifically for the AMEC960804CNAB 96% AFUE gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana models. This precision-machined orifice (also called a spud) meters the exact volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, ensuring a clean, efficient flame and the rated BTU input. Using a factory-spec orifice is critical—an incorrectly sized bore can cause sooting, delayed ignition, or unsafe combustion.
Our genuine OEM orifice is drilled to the exact bore diameter your furnace was certified with, so gas input and efficiency stay within factory tolerance. Aftermarket orifices often vary in bore size, which can throw off the air-fuel ratio and BTU output. For a safety-critical combustion part, we strongly recommend OEM.
Difficulty: Moderate. Replacement requires shutting off the gas supply, removing the manifold, and torqueing the orifice to spec. This is a job for a licensed HVAC technician—never test-fire without verifying manifold pressure.
