The 460-823 is a Piper OEM aircraft fitting used as a structural or system connection component within various aircraft assemblies. It is designed to join, adapt, or secure mechanical, fluid, or structural elements depending on its installation location in the aircraft.

In Piper aircraft applications, fittings like the 460-823 are commonly used in fuel systems, hydraulic systems, pneumatic lines, or airframe structural attachment points, depending on aircraft model configuration. Its primary role is to provide a secure, leak-free, and mechanically stable interface between components such as tubes, hoses, brackets, or structural members.

The fitting is typically precision-machined to ensure accurate thread engagement, sealing integrity, and proper alignment. Depending on application, it may include features such as flared ends, threaded interfaces, or mounting surfaces for secure installation.

Manufactured to Piper OEM specifications, the 460-823 is generally made from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy or steel, selected for strength, durability, and compatibility with aviation fluids and environmental conditions. In fluid system applications, it is designed to maintain leak-tight performance under pressure, vibration, and temperature variation.

Because it is used in critical aircraft systems, correct installation and torque application are essential to ensure safety and prevent leaks, loosening, or structural failure.
