Nice Apollo XBA21 Arm Cap Kit for M3BAR M5BAR M7BAR L9BAR
The Nice Apollo XBA21 kit is used to replace or install the finished end caps on compatible XBA-style barrier arms. These caps do a simple but important job: they close off the arm profile, help keep the arm looking finished, and reduce exposure at the open aluminum ends. In parking and access-control sites, arm caps are often lost or damaged after arm strikes, accessory installation, arm shortening, or general wear. XBA21 is commonly associated with M3BAR, M5BAR, M7BAR, and L9BAR barrier arm setups and includes both flush and raised end styles, which helps cover different arm-end finishing needs. The cap style must match the actual barrier arm profile; it should not be selected based only on the operator cabinet model.

Technician Note
This XBA21 item should be matched to the installed Nice Apollo barrier operator and parts diagram. For M-Bar and L-Bar equipment, confirm the arm length, control board, cabinet style, and accessory requirements before replacing parts by appearance alone.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the full barrier operator model and arm family.
- Match the visible part number or parts diagram reference to the item being ordered.
- Check for related required parts such as XBA13 rubber strips, compatible control board, lid, arm section, or mounting hardware.
- Do not assume similar XBA part numbers are interchangeable.
- For electrical accessories or control board replacement, use a qualified gate technician if the system has unsafe wiring, missing safety devices, or high-voltage concerns.
Professional Advisory
Barrier arm systems are exposed to vehicle impact, weather, vibration, and frequent cycling. After replacing any arm, light, control, mounting, or traffic accessory, the installer should check arm balance, movement, clearances, safety devices, warning devices, and final operation before returning the lane to service.
