The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Orifice is a genuine OEM burner spud engineered for VMES801005CXAA and compatible Goodman/Amana gas furnaces. The orifice meters the precise volume of natural gas delivered to each burner, ensuring a clean, stable flame and rated combustion efficiency. A worn, corroded, or incorrectly drilled orifice can cause lazy flames, delayed ignition, sooting, or nuisance lockouts — replacing it with the factory-spec part restores safe, reliable heating.
The OEM 10716005 is drilled to the exact factory bore diameter matched to your furnace's BTU input and gas manifold pressure — critical for correct flame characteristics. Generic or universal orifices may deviate in bore size, risking under- or over-firing and voiding warranty coverage. For a heating appliance, we strongly recommend the OEM part.
Moderate — Requires shutting off the gas supply, removing the burner assembly, and swapping the orifice. Because it involves a gas connection, we recommend a licensed HVAC technician verify manifold pressure after installation. Estimated time: 30–45 minutes.
