The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Orifice is a genuine OEM burner spud for the Amana/Goodman AMVM970803BNBA modulating variable-speed gas furnace. The orifice (spud) meters the precise volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, setting the fuel-air mixture that produces a clean, correctly sized flame. A worn, corroded, or wrong-size orifice causes poor combustion, sooting, delayed ignition, or incorrect firing rate.
OEM vs. Generic: Orifice bore size is engineered to the furnace's rated input BTU and manifold pressure. The genuine 10716005 is drilled to Goodman's exact specification for this model on natural gas. An incorrectly sized generic orifice changes the firing rate and can create unsafe combustion. This is a fuel-metering safety part — OEM only.
Install Difficulty: Moderate (2/5). Shut off the gas supply and power. Remove the burner assembly or manifold as required, unthread the old orifice with the correct wrench, and thread in the new orifice to the same torque. Reassemble, restore gas, leak-check all connections with soapy solution, and verify a clean blue flame. If converting fuel types, use the correct conversion orifice — not this natural-gas part.
