Overview

The Vimar VM14612 is a Plana-series 2-central-module mounting frame with screws for 3-module mounting boxes and boxes with 60 mm fixing centres or 56x56 mm format, and it fits either horizontal or vertical layouts.

It is the support that keeps Plana module inserts square in the box so the front plate sits flat and the devices do not twist when you tighten terminals. The transparent thermoplastic body makes it easier to see conductor routing while you work, and the honeycomb reinforcement helps the frame stay stiff once it is screwed down.

Overall size is approximately 8.35 x 6 x 1.5 cm, which is useful when you are planning clearance behind a helm panel or inside a shallow cabinet.

Compatibility and fit

Use this frame when your switch or outlet layout is built around Vimar Plana central modules and a 3-module back box. It also matches installations based on 60 mm fixing centres or 56x56 mm boxes, which are common in pre-built panel systems. For a clean finish, the cover plate should match a 2-central-module Plana support.

Installation and setup

The frame screw-mounts to the box and accepts the module inserts from the front. On a boat, it helps to dry-fit the frame and plate before final terminations so the module spacing stays true, especially on thin fiberglass panels or flexing bulkheads.

Use on board

This support is typically used behind grouped controls in cabins, galleys, nav stations, and helm switch panels where Plana devices are installed in a tidy line. It is a good match for refits where vibration can work fasteners loose over time and you want the modules to stay aligned when the cover plate is removed and reinstalled.

Materials and environment

The thermoplastic frame is suited to interior panels and protected mounting locations. In damp lockers or areas that see occasional spray, keep the back box and terminations protected and avoid leaving exposed copper or unsealed connectors behind the plate.

Maintenance and care

During periodic electrical checks, remove the cover plate and confirm the frame fixings are still snug, especially at the helm and in high-traffic areas. If the mounting box threads are stripped or the panel has softened, address that first so the support can hold the modules securely.
