Overview

The Vimar VM08450 is a flush-mounted shaver supply unit for 230 V AC (50-60 Hz) installations, with a built-in 20 VA isolation transformer and outlets for both 120 V and 230 V shaver plugs. It is meant for low-power personal care devices where you want a safer, isolated supply at the point of use.

This unit is a 3-module device for the Vimar 8000 modular system, with a device height of 45 mm and an installation depth of 56.5 mm. The front is thermoplastic with a matt beige finish (RAL 9001), so it blends in well with classic interior palettes often found in heads and cabin vanities.

Key features

• 230 V AC supply (50-60 Hz) with a 20 VA isolation transformer built in.
• Dual-output shaver socket: 120 V outlet format for American 2P 15 A 125 V plug type, plus 230 V outlet format for 2P 2.5 A Europlugs.
• Flush-mounted, 3-module format for Vimar 8000 series modular frames and plates.
• Thermoplastic front with a matt beige finish (RAL 9001).
• Device dimensions: 45 mm height, 56.5 mm depth for planning wall and panel space.
• No hinged lid, so it is best placed where it will not see direct spray or routine washdowns.

Compatibility and fit

This is a 3-module shaver supply unit intended for Vimar 8000 series modular installations. Before ordering, confirm your mounting frame and cover plate accept a 3-module device, and that the back box or panel cavity can accommodate the 56.5 mm depth plus wiring bend radius.

Electrical notes for onboard AC

The supply side is 230 V AC, so it should be wired as part of the vessel’s AC distribution by a qualified installer, with upstream protection appropriate for the circuit. The isolation transformer limits available power to 20 VA, which suits shavers and small chargers, and it is not intended for hair dryers or other high-draw appliances.

Use on board

This unit makes sense in heads, guest bathrooms, and cabin vanity areas where crew or guests may bring either an American-style shaver plug or a Europlug. It is a good match for boats running 230 V shore power or inverter-fed 230 V circuits that want a dedicated, isolated shaver outlet at the mirror.

Maintenance and care

Clean the outer surface with a soft cloth and mild cleaner, and avoid flooding the outlet area. If the unit is installed in a humid head, keeping the space ventilated and wiping down condensation helps reduce corrosion on plug contacts over time.
