Overview

The Vimar VM07935.1 is a 24 mm fixing screw with a combined Phillips and slotted head, used to secure supports on rectangular mounting boxes. It is the small piece of hardware that keeps a support seated correctly so devices stay aligned behind the faceplate and don’t shift when you operate switches, outlets, or controls.

On a boat, this type of screw is commonly needed during panel work in a helm console, cabin bulkhead, or utility locker where Vimar enclosures and control units are installed. The 24 mm length matters for fit, so it is worth checking that the mounting box and support you are using are the rectangular-box style intended for this screw length.

Key features

• 24 mm long screw for fixing supports on rectangular mounting boxes
• Combined Phillips and slotted head to match the driver you have in hand
• Made for system infrastructure work involving enclosures and control-unit mounting
• Useful as replacement hardware when a support needs to be resecured after a refit or service visit

Compatibility and fit

This screw is intended for supports that fasten to rectangular mounting boxes. If you are mixing parts from different mounting styles, confirm the box format and that the support is meant to be fixed with a 24 mm screw before ordering.

Installation and setup

Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten until the support is held firmly against the mounting box. The head accepts either a Phillips or a flat-blade driver, which helps when access is limited inside a console or behind a tight trim ring. Avoid over-tightening, especially where plastic mounting boxes or supports are used, so threads and mounting ears stay intact.

Use on board

This is a practical match for boat owners and installers doing electrical finishing work where Vimar supports are mounted into rectangular boxes in cabins, helms, or control panels. It is also handy for spares kits when you regularly remove faceplates for inspection or upgrades.

Maintenance and care

During routine panel checks, make sure the support stays snug and that faceplates sit flat without movement. If the installation area sees damp air or occasional spray, keep the panel space clean and dry where possible and re-check the fastener during seasonal maintenance.
