Vimar 8000 3-Module Blanking Plate, For 08531/08531.S, Snap Fix

Overview

The Vimar 8000 blanking plate is a 3-module cover plate for closing an unused opening in a compatible mounting box and frame. Across the range, it uses snap fixing, fits mounting frame 08531 or 08531.S, and can be installed in either horizontal or vertical orientation. Height is 75.5 mm and depth is 6 mm, with width varying between 123 mm on the ivory version and 120 mm on the bronze and gold versions.

On board, this type of plate is used to finish a panel neatly when a switch, socket, or accessory is not being fitted in that position. It suits protected interior locations such as cabin panels, helm consoles under cover, and built-in service areas where the front face is not exposed to spray, since the plate itself is rated IP00.

The finish depends on the version. The ivory plate uses halogen-free thermoplastic resin with a matt surface, while the bronze and gold plates use anodized aluminium with a matt finish.

Variants

This product is offered in three finish and color configurations.

What changes between variants is the surface finish, base material, color, and overall width. The core layout stays the same across the range: each version is a 3-module blanking plate with snap fixing for frame 08531 or 08531.S, can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and has a height of 75.5 mm with a depth of 6 mm.

• VM08660.A - Color Ivory. Thermoplastic resin with a matt untreated surface and a white tone similar to RAL 9010. Width is 123 mm. This version suits lighter switch surrounds and other interior trim that uses ivory or off-white finishes.
• VM08660.BR - Color Bronze. Anodized aluminium with a matt finish and a bronze tone similar to RAL 1036. Width is 120 mm. This version gives the panel a darker metallic look where bronze trim or hardware is already present.
• VM08660 - Color Gold. Anodized aluminium with a matt finish and a gold tone similar to RAL 1035. Width is 120 mm. This version keeps the same mounting format as the bronze plate with a warmer metallic appearance.

Compatibility and fit

This plate is part of the Vimar 8000 wiring device format and is meant for 3-module mounting boxes used with frame 08531 or 08531.S. It can be used in vertical or horizontal arrangements, which is useful when closing a spare position in a cabin switch bank or leaving space for a future circuit in a refit.

Because it is a face plate rather than a sealed enclosure component, it belongs in protected installations. For marine work, that usually means interior bulkheads, cabin furniture, enclosed helm panels, and similar locations rather than open deck areas or washdown zones.

Use on board

This is a good match for builders and refit teams who want unused module positions to look finished instead of leaving an opening in the panel. It also works well when a layout may change later and a spare module space needs to stay covered until another device is added.

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.
