This precision-drilled brass orifice meters the exact volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, setting the flame size and total BTU input for safe, efficient combustion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrifices can become clogged with debris, corroded, or damaged during service. A worn or wrong-size orifice causes poor flames, sooting, delayed ignition, or lockouts. Using the factory-specified orifice keeps the furnace firing at its rated input and protects the heat exchanger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10716003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Threaded main burner orifice \/ spud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined brass, precision-drilled bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e AMVC950453BXAE and compatible Goodman \u0026amp; Amana furnaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs. Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orifice bore diameter is critical — even a few thousandths of an inch changes the gas flow and flame. Our OEM Goodman orifice is drilled to the manufacturer's exact specification for this model. Generic spuds may look identical but can over- or under-fire the furnace, creating a safety and efficiency risk. Always match OEM for gas-metering parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation difficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate (3\/5). Shut off gas and power, unthread the old orifice from the manifold with the correct wrench, install the new orifice hand-tight plus a snug turn, then leak-test with soap solution and verify the flame.
