Overview

The Vimar VM30613 is a LINEA 3-module mounting frame that fastens to a 3-module mounting box and provides the support behind the cover plate for modular device inserts. It supports a 3-module horizontal layout, and it can also be oriented vertically for a 1-module layout when the installation calls for it.

This is a flush-mounted frame and it does not include a back box, so the wall or bulkhead box must be in place and correctly aligned before fitting the frame and modules. It is not suitable for 60 mm round junction boxes and it is not intended for 35 mm DIN-rail installations.

On boats, this style of support is commonly used for clean interior switch and outlet groupings in cabins, salons, and galleys where a modular plate system is being installed. If your build uses Vimar LINEA plates and modules, this frame is the piece that keeps the assembly square and serviceable from the front.

Compatibility and fit

VM30613 is part of the Vimar LINEA mounting frame system and is used behind LINEA 3-module cover plates that specify the 30613 frame as their mounting base. It supports LINEA modular inserts assembled from the front, which is helpful when you need to service or reconfigure the installation without pulling the box out of the bulkhead.

Before ordering, confirm you have a matching 3-module mounting box in the correct position and depth for your wall or panel build-up, and confirm your chosen LINEA plate and modules are the 3-module format.

Installation and setup

Install and secure the 3-module mounting box in the wall or bulkhead first, then fasten the frame to the box using the supplied screws. Once the frame is fixed and level, fit the modular device inserts from the front, wire per the device requirements, and finish by installing the matching cover plate.

For marine interiors, take the extra moment to ensure the box is anchored to a solid backing so the assembly stays tight when the boat flexes and vibrates underway.

Use on board

This frame is a good match for refits or new builds that standardize on Vimar LINEA modular plates for interior lighting controls, accessory switches, or outlet groupings. It fits best in protected locations such as cabins, companionways, nav stations, and other dry interior panels rather than exposed spray zones.
