The orifice meters the precise volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, setting the flame size and combustion efficiency. A damaged, corroded, or incorrectly sized orifice causes lazy or noisy flames, sooting, delayed ignition, or improper firing rate — replacing it with the correct drill size restores clean, efficient combustion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: 0163F00018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent Type: Natural gas burner orifice \/ spud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel Type: Natural gas (factory-drilled)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Model: AMVC80805CXAA and compatible Goodman\/Amana furnaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread: OEM burner manifold thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrifice bore size is calibrated to the furnace's rated input BTU and manifold pressure. The OEM 0163F00018 guarantees the exact drill size and thread pitch. Generic orifices risk over- or under-firing, poor combustion, and elevated CO — do not substitute a mismatched bore. For LP\/propane conversions, a dedicated conversion kit is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Difficulty: Moderate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated \u003cstrong\u003eModerate (3\/5)\u003c\/strong\u003e. Requires shutting off gas, removing the manifold or burner assembly, and threading in the new orifice with proper alignment. Combustion should be verified with a manometer and combustion analyzer after service. Because it involves the gas train, professional installation by a licensed HVAC technician is strongly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goodman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63057868325235,"sku":"GOODMAN-8417","price":1.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nationalhvacparts.com\/products\/oem-goodman-natural-gas-orifice-for-amvc80805cxaa-0163f00018","provider":"National HVAC Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
