Vimar 8000 Series 2-Module Cover Plate, For 3-Module Flush Mounting Boxes, Snap Fixing

Overview

The Vimar 8000 Series is a 2-module snap-fixing cover plate range for 3-module flush mounting boxes, used with the 08531 mounting frame. All versions can be mounted horizontally or vertically, are 75.5 mm high and 6 mm deep, and have an IP00 rating for protected interior use.

On board, this type of plate suits interior switch and outlet positions where the Vimar 8000 format is already in place, such as cabins, helm fascias, or service panels inside the boat. Width changes with the face material: anodized aluminium versions are 120 mm wide, while resin versions are 123 mm wide.

Key features

• 2-module cover plate format for 3-module flush mounting boxes with the Vimar 08531 frame
• Horizontal or vertical mounting orientation
• Snap-fix attachment for front fitting and removal during service work
• Anodized aluminium or resin construction depending on version, all with a matt finish
• Suitable for built-in installation, wall duct, and subfloor installation duct boxes
• Label space on the face for circuit or function identification
• Halogen-free construction
• IP00 rating for protected interior locations

Variants

This range is offered in five finish and material combinations.

What changes between variants is the face material, color, and overall width linked to that material. The mounting format stays the same across the range: each version is a 2-module snap-fix cover plate for the 08531 frame, with horizontal or vertical orientation.

• VM08636.N: Black, anodized aluminium. Uses the 120 mm aluminium face and keeps the same fit on 08531 frames.
• VM08636.BR: Bronze, anodized aluminium. Keeps the same aluminium construction and 120 mm width, with a warmer metallic finish.
• VM08636: Gold, anodized aluminium. Uses the same aluminium version and 120 mm width, finished in gold.
• VM08636.A: Ivory, resin. Uses the 123 mm resin face while keeping the same 2-module snap-fix layout.
• VM08636.Z: White, resin. Shares the resin construction and 123 mm width, with the same fit as the other versions.

Compatibility and fit

Fit depends on the Vimar 08531 mounting frame and a 3-module flush mounting box, or the matching wall duct or subfloor duct box arrangement. This plate is the finishing face for a 2-module position, so it matches installations already based on the 8000 series layout.

For marine refits, that matters most when you are matching existing Vimar switch gear in the saloon, berth areas, helm console, or utility spaces behind interior panels. The IP00 rating keeps it suited to dry, protected locations rather than exposed deck or washdown areas.

Installation and onboard use

The snap-fix front is useful when a plate needs to come off for access during wiring changes or finish work, and the option to mount horizontally or vertically helps when panel orientation varies from boat to boat. This range suits owners and installers who need the correct 8000 frame fit and want a choice between metallic faces and resin faces to match the surrounding panel.

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.
