The Goodman 10716005 is a genuine OEM natural gas burner orifice (spud) for the AMEC961004CNAD and compatible Amana/Goodman gas furnaces. The orifice meters the precise volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, setting the firing rate and ensuring clean, complete combustion. A worn, corroded, or incorrectly drilled orifice causes poor flame quality, sooting, reduced efficiency, and can trip flame sensors or limit switches. Always match the orifice to the fuel type (natural gas) and furnace input rating.
The OEM 10716005 is precision-drilled to Goodman's exact orifice diameter for the rated input — a dimension that directly affects safety and efficiency. Generic spuds with even slightly off bore sizes can over- or under-fire the furnace. For a fuel-metering component, genuine OEM is the safe choice.
Moderate (3/5). Shut off gas and power, remove the manifold or burner assembly as needed, unthread the old orifice, and install the new one to spec. Recommended for an HVAC professional; a combustion analysis after install is advised.
