The orifice threads into the manifold and meters the precise volume of gas fed into each in-shot burner, setting the BTU input and the air-fuel mixture for clean combustion. A worn, corroded, incorrectly drilled, or mismatched orifice throws off the flame — causing sooting, delayed ignition, low heat output, or an over-fired burner. Installing the correct factory-drilled orifice restores rated input and a stable blue flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: threaded natural gas burner orifice (spud)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel: natural gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Goodman WFM18045S3AXCC furnace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM part number: 10716003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrill size: factory-set for rated BTU input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: machined brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe OEM Goodman orifice is drilled to the exact bore Goodman specified for this furnace's natural-gas input and altitude default, so BTU delivery and flame quality match spec straight out of the package.
