Vimar Idea 5-Module Mounting Frame, With Screws, Grey

Overview

The Vimar VM16715 is a 5-module mounting frame with fixing screws for Vimar Idea rectangular flush-mounting boxes, finished in grey. It is the internal support that holds the modular devices in place behind the cover plate, keeping switches, outlets, and other Idea modules aligned and secure.

This frame carries up to 5 modules across and can be installed either horizontally or vertically. Overall size is approximately 60 x 147 mm, so it is sized for standard 5-module layouts where you want a clean, consistent lineup in a cabin, head, or nav station panel.

It is not intended for 60 mm round junction boxes, floor boxes, or in-wall trunking style systems. For best results on a boat, plan it for protected interior locations where it sits behind a cover plate and is not exposed to spray or washdowns.

Key features

What’s included

• 5-module mounting frame
• Fixing screws

Compatibility and fit

This frame is for Vimar Idea 5-module rectangular flush-mounting boxes and matching Idea cover plates. If your boat is fitted with a different Vimar series or a different module format, confirm the system family and module count before ordering.

It will not fit 60 mm round junction boxes, and it is not meant for floor box installs or trunking style systems. When replacing an existing frame, count the modules across the opening and verify the box format is rectangular and sized for 5 modules.

Installation and setup

Position the frame on the flush box and secure it using the supplied screws. The modular inserts mount from the rear side of the frame, then the cover plate finishes the front. Because the frame can be installed horizontally or vertically, you can match the layout to your switch panel orientation without changing the module count.

On boats, take a moment to check for cable bend radius and box depth behind the panel or liner so the modules seat fully and the cover plate sits flat.

Use cases on board

This part makes sense for refits and new installs where you are building a tidy, modular switch and outlet row in interior spaces. It is a good match for owners standardizing on Vimar Idea modules across multiple cabins or consoles and wanting consistent spacing and alignment behind the plates.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
