Overview

The Vimar VM14802 is a 2-module surface-mount enclosure for Vimar Eikon and Plana modular devices when you need a neat installation on top of a bulkhead, liner, or panel. It is rated IP40, meaning it helps keep out solid objects down to 1 mm but it does not provide water protection, so it belongs in dry interior locations. Overall size is 6.8 x 8.3 x 5.5 cm, which is handy when you are checking clearance around cabinetry, behind trims, or inside a protected console.

The housing is plastic and includes full insulating materials, which supports safe separation between the device and the mounting surface. The enclosure is finished in grey and keeps the install tidy when you are surface-mounting where a flush wall box is not practical.

On boats this style of enclosure is commonly used for switch points and small accessory outlets in cabins, at the nav station, or inside sheltered helm areas where the wiring run is surface-routed and you want a clean, enclosed termination.

Key features

• IP40 protection for interior spaces: protection against solid objects with no water ingress rating
• Compact external dimensions: 6.8 x 8.3 x 5.5 cm
• Plastic housing with full insulating materials for safer mounting on insulated panels
• Grey finish suited to low-visibility interior installations
• Lightweight enclosure at 58.07 g

Compatibility and fit

This enclosure is intended for Vimar modular installations that use a 2-module format in the Eikon and Plana ranges. Confirm your device and support frame are the 2-module size before ordering, especially if your boat mixes different Vimar series in different areas.

If you are replacing an existing box, check both the module count and the available wall space around the faceplate. The 5.5 cm depth is the key measurement to verify when mounting over conduits, cable bundles, or structural stiffeners.

Installation and setup

Mount the enclosure to a flat surface with fasteners appropriate for the substrate. Plan cable routing so conductors are protected from chafe and strain where they enter the box, and keep wiring runs supported to handle vibration underway.

Because this unit is IP40, avoid mounting where it will see spray, washdowns, or persistent condensation. For exposed cockpit areas, wet lockers, or open flybridge helm stations, a higher ingress-rated enclosure is the safer match.

Use cases on board

This is a good match for refits where you are keeping Vimar Eikon or Plana devices but changing the mounting location to a surface install. It also fits cleanups where you need to relocate a switch point onto a liner or furniture face without cutting in a recess box.
