Overview

The Vimar VM12202 is an IP55-rated 2-module surface enclosure for Vimar Linea 2M components. It gives you a protected housing when you need to mount Linea devices on top of a bulkhead or panel instead of cutting in a recessed box.

On a boat, IP55 protection is useful in spots that see spray, dust, and day-to-day wipe-downs, such as a pilothouse, a covered cockpit, or a utility area where moisture is part of normal life onboard. The insulating plastic body also helps when you are installing on insulated walls or mixed-material panels.

Key features

• IP55 protection for electrical modules in areas exposed to spray and airborne dust
• 2-module capacity for Linea 2M layouts where space is tight on a console or bulkhead
• Surface-mount format for refits and finished panels where flush mounting is not practical
• Insulating plastic enclosure suitable for installations on insulated surfaces
• Made to pair with Vimar Linea 2M components for consistent fit and alignment

Compatibility and fit

This enclosure is sized for 2-module Linea 2M configurations. Before ordering, confirm your planned device layout is 2 modules and matches the Linea family you are using, especially if you are standardizing multiple stations around the boat.

Installation and setup

Surface mounting is straightforward on a flat, stable area with enough clearance for wiring behind the device. For marine installs, route cables so they are supported against vibration and seal any cable entry points with the right marine glands or sealing methods for your installation so water does not track into the back of the enclosure.

IP55 is intended for exposure to splashes and dust rather than submersion. If the mounting spot is in the direct path of washdown hoses or heavy green water, place it where it has some shielding or add a drip loop and extra sealing attention around entries.

Use cases on board

This enclosure makes sense for adding a small control point on a bulkhead, console side, or locker area where you want a surface-mounted, protected module position. It is a solid fit for owners and installers building out Linea stations in cruising boats where space is limited and the environment stays humid.

Maintenance and care

Wipe the enclosure with fresh water and a mild soap when needed, especially after salt exposure. Periodically check that the sealing surfaces remain clean and that cable entries stay tight, since small gaps are usually what let moisture work its way into electrical spaces over time.
