The Goodman 10716005 Natural Gas Orifice is a genuine OEM burner component engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the Goodman VMSS960603BNAA gas furnace and compatible units. Also called a burner spud, this precision-drilled brass orifice meters the exact flow of natural gas into each burner, ensuring a clean, correctly sized flame for safe and efficient combustion. Using the proper drill-size orifice is essential to maintaining the furnace's rated BTU output and safe air-fuel ratio.
The genuine Goodman OEM 10716005 is drilled to the manufacturer's exact orifice size for this furnace and fuel type. Generic or mis-sized orifices can cause over- or under-firing, sooting, delayed ignition, or unsafe carbon-monoxide production. For any gas-metering part, OEM is strongly recommended to keep combustion within spec.
Moderate (2/5). Requires removing the burner assembly and threading the orifice into the manifold — a nut driver or wrench is typically needed. Always shut off the gas supply and electrical power before servicing, and check for leaks with soap solution afterward. Gas-side work should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician where required by local code.
