The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Orifice is a genuine OEM burner spud engineered for the VCES960603BNAA gas furnace. The orifice meters the precise volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, setting the furnace's BTU input and ensuring a clean, stable blue flame. A worn, corroded, or incorrectly drilled orifice can cause a lifting, sooty, or yellow flame, poor heating, and unsafe combustion — installing the factory-metered orifice restores correct fuel delivery.
The OEM Goodman orifice is drilled to the exact factory diameter for this furnace's rated input, and the thread size matches the manifold precisely. Generic or misdrilled orifices change the fuel rate and can create a dangerous over- or under-fired condition. For any gas-metering component, use the exact OEM part specified for the model.
Moderate (3 of 5) — gas work. Plan 30 minutes. Shut off the gas and power, remove the burner assembly or manifold access, thread out the old orifice, and install the new one snug and square. A gas-rated technician should verify the manifold pressure and check for leaks with a soap solution afterward. When in doubt, hire a licensed pro.
