Overview

The Vimar VM14626 is a Plana 1-module mounting frame with screws for panel mounting. It is the support piece that holds a single Plana modular device in place behind the faceplate so the module sits straight and stays secure when the panel is used every day.

This frame mounts with screws and the module inserts from the front side, which keeps service simple when you need to swap a switch or outlet without pulling the whole panel apart. It can be installed in either horizontal or vertical orientation and uses a thermoplastic body.

Key features

• Plana 1-module mounting frame for panel installations
• Screw-mounted support with included screws for a solid hold behind a helm, cabin, or utility panel
• Front-side insertion for the module, so access stays straightforward during refits and troubleshooting
• Works in horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on your panel layout
• Thermoplastic construction that holds its shape and does not corrode in humid onboard spaces
• Not suitable for 60 mm round junction boxes, DIN-rail mounting, wall duct mounting, or floor box mounting
• No built-in installation box, intended to be used with an appropriate panel-mount back box or enclosure

What’s included

• 1-module mounting frame
• Mounting screws

Compatibility and fit

This support frame is made for Vimar Plana modular domestic switching devices in a 1-module format. It is meant for flush-style panel installations where the module is retained by the frame and finished with the matching Plana cover plate.

It is not intended for round 60 mm boxes or for installations that rely on DIN rail, wall ducts, or floor boxes. Plan for a suitable rear enclosure or back box behind the panel when the wiring needs protection and strain relief.

Installation and setup

Position the frame behind the panel opening, align it for the chosen orientation, and secure it with the screws. Insert the Plana module from the front side and confirm the device sits flat before fitting the faceplate.

On boats, take a moment to support the wiring so vibration does not work the conductors loose over time. Keep bends gentle, avoid pulling on the module terminals, and avoid over-tightening fasteners against plastic parts.

Use on board

This frame is commonly used when building a clean, modular switch bank at the helm, adding control points in the cabin or galley, or organizing utility controls in a technical locker. It suits refits where you want consistent Plana modules across different panels without mixing mounting systems.

Maintenance and care

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh solvents that can stress thermoplastic parts, and periodically check mounting screws in high-vibration areas.
