NICE / APOLLO A2096, GASKET, W/ADHESIVE F/ACTUATOR
The NICE Apollo A2096 is a replacement gasket used in compatible Apollo actuator housing service, most commonly referenced with 816 actuator bell-housing repairs. Its job is simple but important: it helps seal the actuator housing area after the actuator has been opened for service.
Customers often need this part after replacing or inspecting internal actuator components, resealing a housing, correcting moisture entry, or rebuilding an older Apollo actuator. A damaged gasket can allow water, dust, and insects into areas that should stay protected. This gasket should be installed only after the mating surfaces are clean and the housing is inspected for cracks, corrosion, or warped cover surfaces.
Compatible With
This compatibility list is written for practical parts-counter use. Match the installed operator model, controller, harness length, receiver family, or parts diagram before ordering when the system has been repaired or upgraded in the past.
- NICE Apollo 816 actuator bell-housing gasket applications where A2096 is specified
- Select Apollo 816 linear actuator service and rebuild work
- Possible 816X or related 816-family actuator service references only when confirmed by parts diagram
- Apollo 1500, 1550, 1551, 1600, and 1650 operator systems only when they use the compatible 816 actuator and gasket location
- Not a substitute for cover tube seals, rear housing kits, motor assemblies, limit tower assemblies, or harnesses

Technician Note
Do not reuse a torn or compressed actuator gasket after opening the housing. If the actuator shows water intrusion, also inspect the cable entry, strain relief, cover tube seal, and housing surfaces before closing it back up.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the actuator is an Apollo 816 style actuator or another diagram-confirmed application
- Confirm the gasket location is the bell housing or matching actuator housing area
- Inspect housing surfaces for cracks, corrosion, dirt, and old adhesive residue
- Replace damaged seals before returning an outdoor actuator to service
- Do not use gasket sealer or adhesive methods that interfere with future service unless approved for the application
Important Ordering Warnings
- A2096 is a gasket only, not a complete actuator repair kit
- Similar actuator housing seals are not automatically interchangeable
- Water-damaged actuators may need more than a gasket replacement
Professional Advisory
For electrical diagnosis, controller replacement, or any unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate technician. Do not bypass required safety devices or operate a gate system with missing, damaged, or improperly wired protection devices.
Product Questions and Answers
What does the A2096 gasket do?
The A2096 helps seal compatible Apollo actuator housing components, commonly around 816 actuator bell-housing service.
Is A2096 a complete actuator repair kit?
No. It is a gasket only unless your stocked package includes other items. Motors, gears, housings, and harnesses are separate parts.
Can this gasket fix water inside an actuator?
It can help restore the seal during reassembly, but the technician should also check housing damage, cable entry points, and other seals.
Will this fit every Apollo actuator?
No. It should be matched to the actuator model and parts diagram, especially on 816 and 816-family service work.
When should the gasket be replaced?
Replace it when the old gasket is torn, flattened, missing, contaminated, or disturbed during actuator housing service.
