Amana-Goodman 0163F00018 Burner Orifice

The Amana-Goodman 0163F00018 Burner Orifice is a precision-engineered #43 drill size orifice designed for Natural Gas (NG) furnace applications. Identifying the correct gas burner orifice size is critical for maintaining the stoichiometric ratio required for clean combustion and preventing soot accumulation or delayed ignition. This specific component is a direct replacement for Goodman part 10716003, engineered to meet the exact flow rate specifications of Amana and Goodman residential furnaces. For technicians performing LP to Natural Gas conversions or replacing obstructed injectors, this brass burner orifice ensures the manifold pressure yields the BTU output designated by the equipment nameplate. Proper installation within the burner manifold assembly is essential for achieving optimal flame stability and thermal efficiency. Always verify the furnace gas valve manifold pressure after installation to ensure the #43 burner orifice is delivering the correct input rate for the specific altitude and heating degree day requirements of the job site.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for 0163F00018 and 10716003, eliminating fitment issues during field service.
• Standardized Flow Rate: Precision-drilled #43 orifice diameter ensures consistent BTU delivery across all burner ports.
• Durable Construction: High-grade brass resists corrosion and thermal degradation within the combustion chamber.
• Simplified Inventory: Consolidates multiple part numbers into a single, reliable HVAC combustion component.

Common Technical Questions:

Can this orifice be used for Propane (LP) applications?
No, the #43 drill size is specific to Natural Gas furnace tuning. Using this for LP will result in significant over-firing and potential heat exchanger damage.

How do I verify if this fits my specific Goodman unit?
Cross-reference your model number with the manufacturer's parts manual. This gas furnace burner orifice is standard for many mid-efficiency and high-efficiency induction-draft models.

Is this part interchangeable with part number 10716003?
Yes, the 0163F00018 burner orifice is the direct functional equivalent and supersedes 10716003 in the Goodman/Amana parts catalog.
