Overview

The Vimar VM14963 is an IP55-rated enclosure with an inserted socket, made to mount on a 3-module flush mounting box while accepting 2 Eikon, Arké, or Plana modules.

On a boat, it is a clean way to keep a modular outlet or control point protected in spots that see spray, damp air, and routine rinse-downs, without changing the existing flush box in the bulkhead.

The body is plastic and fully insulating, which helps in marine spaces where corrosion and stray moisture are everyday realities.

Key features

• IP55-rated protection for areas exposed to spray, rain, and washdowns
• Accepts 2 Vimar Eikon, Arké, or Plana modules in one protected enclosure
• Mounting footprint for a 3-module flush mounting box, helpful for refits where the box is already installed
• Plastic construction with full insulating materials for electrically isolated mounting

Compatibility and fit

This enclosure is intended for Vimar modular devices in the Eikon, Arké, and Plana families, in a 2-module format. Confirm your planned modules are from one of those ranges and that your installation uses a 3-module flush mounting box, since the cover is built around that box size and fixing pattern.

If you are replacing an existing cover, check the module family and the box type before ordering, as different systems can look similar but do not share the same mounting geometry.

Installation and setup

Set up cable routing so water cannot track along the wiring into the box, and keep a simple drip loop where possible. For exterior bulkheads, the seal depends on clean mating surfaces and correct seating, so avoid paint buildup, burrs, or debris around the mounting area.

This is part of the vessel electrical system, so installation should be carried out by a qualified person and checked against the practices and standards you follow on board.

Use on board

This style of enclosure is commonly used for accessory connection points or controls in cockpits, flybridges, aft decks, and other locations where you want a standard modular device but the environment is wet and exposed.

It also suits upgrades where the cutout and 3-module flush box are already in place and you want to add IP55 protection around the modules.

Maintenance and care

Rinse off salt residue as needed and periodically check that the cover closes properly and the sealing surfaces stay clean. Replace the enclosure if the sealing areas are damaged or the cover no longer seats evenly.
