Overview

The Vimar VM08502 is a 2-module mounting frame with claws for Ø60 mm round flush-mount boxes, used to secure Vimar 8000 series modular devices behind a finished cover plate.

It supports two standard modules when installed horizontally, or one module vertically, so you can match the orientation of your box and the available space on the bulkhead. The frame is thermoplastic and black, and it locks into the box using its claw system so the device sits square and flush once the plate is fitted.

This is the mounting frame only. The flush box, modular inserts, and cover plate are selected separately.

Key features

• Fits Ø60 mm round flush mounting boxes
• 2-module horizontal layout, with a 1-module vertical option when required by orientation
• Claw mounting system grips the box securely without relying on a separate back box bracket
• Flush-mounted frame style that aligns modular inserts cleanly behind a compatible cover plate
• Thermoplastic construction that will not corrode in humid cabins and closed consoles
• No built-in installation box and no separate fixing screws supplied

Compatibility and fit

Use this frame with Vimar 8000 series modular inserts and a matching cover plate sized for a 2-module layout. It is made for the common Ø60 mm round flush box found in many European-style installations on boats and RVs.

If your vessel uses rectangular wall boxes, surface-mount enclosures, or a round box with a different diameter, the frame will not seat correctly and the claws may not grab as intended.

Installation and setup

Bring the cable into the flush box with enough slack to dress conductors neatly, then set the frame into the box and tighten the claw mechanism so it locks squarely in place. On thin liners or uneven panels, take a moment to confirm the frame is sitting flat before you finish the device.

After the modular insert is fitted to the frame, install the cover plate and check that buttons and rockers move freely and that the front sits flush against the panel.

Use on board

This style of mounting frame is a good match for refits that use European modular switchgear in protected locations such as the cabin, nav station, head, galley, or inside a console. Any water resistance depends on the selected device and cover plate, not on the frame itself.

Maintenance and care

After the first few runs, recheck that vibration has not loosened the claw grip and that the device stays aligned in the opening. If you remove the assembly for service, back the claws off before pulling the frame to avoid stressing the box.
