The Goodman 10716003 Natural Gas Orifice is a genuine OEM brass burner spud calibrated for the AMH950453BXAC gas furnace. Each orifice meters the precise volume of natural gas delivered to a burner, setting the furnace's rated BTU input and ensuring a clean, blue flame. Using the wrong drill size or a worn orifice causes sooting, delayed ignition, or an over/under-fired furnace.
OEM vs. Generic: Orifice performance lives or dies on bore accuracy. Generic spuds are frequently drilled to a nominal — not exact — size, shifting the gas rate and forcing a manifold-pressure re-tune. This OEM orifice matches Goodman's factory drill spec, so it drops in and fires at the rated input without recalibration.
Install difficulty: Moderate (2/5). Shut off the gas and power, remove the manifold or burner, unthread the old orifice, and thread in the replacement — use a proper spud socket to avoid deforming the brass. Always leak-check with soap solution after reassembly. Gas work should be done by a qualified technician.
