OEM Goodman Natural Gas Orifice for AMES800403AXAA — 10716005

The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Orifice is a genuine OEM burner spud for the Amana/Goodman AMES800403AXAA 80% AFUE single-stage gas furnace. The orifice meters the precise flow of natural gas into each burner tube, setting the flame size and BTU input the furnace is rated for. A cross-threaded, corroded, or wrong-size orifice causes lazy yellow flames, sooting, delayed ignition, or under/over-firing — and is the correct part to replace when restoring proper natural-gas combustion.

• Genuine OEM Goodman/Amana part number 10716005
• Direct fit for AMES800403AXAA and compatible AMES80 / GMES80 series burners
• Machined brass orifice with factory-drilled natural-gas bore diameter
• Standard threaded spud that seats into the manifold pipe
• Restores correct BTU input, flame shape, and clean combustion

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM version carries the exact factory drill size matched to this furnace's manifold pressure and input rating — critical for safe, on-spec combustion. The generic version is a same-bore brass equivalent at a lower price. Because orifice sizing directly affects the burn, verify the stamped size before installing either; do not substitute an LP orifice for natural gas.

Installation Difficulty: Moderate

Rated Moderate (~30 minutes). Shut off gas and power, remove the manifold or burner assembly as needed, unthread the old orifice, and thread the new one hand-tight plus a controlled turn — do not over-torque brass. After install, verify manifold pressure with a manometer and confirm a crisp blue flame. Combustion work should be done or verified by a qualified technician.
