Overview

The Vimar 8000 is a 1-module cover plate range for 3-module flush mounting boxes with snap fixing, offered in resin and anodized aluminum finishes. Across the range, the plate can be mounted horizontally or vertically and carries an IP00 rating, so it belongs in protected interior locations rather than exposed weather areas.

This is the trim piece that finishes a modular switch or control point once the device and mounting frame are in place. It suits interior electrical points where clean alignment matters, whether the installation is in a cabin bulkhead, saloon panel, chart table area, or another protected onboard space.

The range also works in built-in installations, wall ducts, and subfloor installation duct boxes. That gives some flexibility when you are matching switch trim across a refit or replacing a damaged plate without changing the rest of the modular layout.

Variants

This product is offered in several finish options so the visible trim can match the rest of the installation.

The main differences between the variants are color and material. Ivory and white versions use resin, while bronze, black, and gold use anodized aluminum. The 1-module layout, snap-fix mounting, horizontal or vertical orientation, and fit for 3-module flush mounting boxes stay the same across this group.

• VM08635.A: Color Ivory. This resin version has an off-white tone that works well with cream or ivory interior switch surrounds.
• VM08635.BR: Color Bronze. This anodized aluminum version gives the plate a darker metallic look that suits warmer trim finishes and classic interior palettes.
• VM08635.N: Color Black. This anodized aluminum version has a darker appearance that pairs neatly with black switch trim or darker panel work.
• VM08635.Z: Color White. This resin version gives a cleaner white look for bright interior panels and lighter refit schemes.
• VM08635: Color Gold. This anodized aluminum version brings a warmer metallic finish that fits decorative cabin joinery and more traditional interiors.

Compatibility and fit

This plate family is meant for Vimar modular installations that use a 3-module flush box and the matching mounting frame. It is the right form factor when you need a single visible module within that wider box layout.

For marine interiors, that usually means protected switch positions for lights, fans, accessories, or other cabin controls where appearance matters as much as fit. It is not a weatherproof exterior trim piece and should not be treated as one.

Installation and location

Snap fixing keeps the front of the plate clean and helps when the device behind it needs to be checked or replaced later. That is useful on boats where service access can be limited and you want trim pieces that come off without front screws.

Because the range is IP00, it should be installed in dry or protected spaces away from spray, washdowns, and open exterior mounting positions. It is a better match for cabins, saloons, enclosed helm areas, and other sheltered onboard locations.
