Test results
Replaced the red orifice with the yellow orifice (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I0UQCE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) as it had a smaller hold
Measured the flow in and out of the humidifier with each orifice and results are as follows:

note: Each test was done about a week a part and possibly different water temp, and pressure.
note2: Each individual number was an average from 3 test.

Test 1:
834 ml/min no orifice
358 ml/min in, red orifice, hot water
300 ml/min out, red orifice, hot water

Orifices are the tiny nylon components which accurately meter the flow of water into your humidifier and are for use with Aprilaire models 112 and 224. They allow a specific amount of water to go into the humidifier, some of which is evaporated and some which performs the important flushing action. This keeps the Water Panel clean and reduces maintenance to a minimal amount.
Models it fits: 112 and 224.
Fits Aprilaire humidifier models 112 and 224. You'll need to order this and an Aprilaire 4004 In-Line Strainer when you replace the solenoid valve. The strainer goes in the long end, and the orifice in the short end.
Great Customer Service
I purchased a solenoid valve along with this orifice. The valve arrived with a packing slip that indicated both the orifice and valve had been pulled and packed, but no orifice was in the box. Sent an email late Friday or Saturday to the supplier through Amazon, and the same evening got an apology and promise that another orifice would be shipped Monday (it was!)

I value this type of response from a supplier and would recommend them to anybody who wants to have confidence that they are dealing with a reputable vendor. The product is so simple that I can only assume it will be fine, but won't know for a while as I just purchased it for the next winter season.
