Vimar Plana 8 (4+4)-Module Mounting Frame with Screws, For V71318/V71718 Flush and 14788 Table Mounting Boxes

Overview

The Vimar VM14618 is an 8 (4+4)-module mounting frame for the Plana system, made to fit Vimar V71318 and V71718 flush boxes and the 14788 table mounting box.

It mounts flush and fixes with screws from the front, which helps keep modules aligned before the cover plate goes on. The frame supports horizontal and vertical mounting direction, with a 4-module horizontal by 2-module vertical grid.

Key features

• Holds up to eight Plana modules in a 4+4 frame footprint.
• Compatible with Vimar V71318 and V71718 flush mounting boxes, and the 14788 table mounting box.
• Flush-mounted frame with front-side fixing; mounting screws are included.
• Works in horizontal or vertical mounting direction for flexible panel layouts.
• Thermoplastic construction that keeps its shape in vibration-prone installations.
• Not suitable for 60 mm round junction boxes and not suitable for 35 mm DIN-rail mounting.

Compatibility and fit

This frame is for rectangular box installations and does not include a built-in installation box, so the correct box needs to be in place before you start. Plan your cutout and cover plate around an 8-module (4+4) Plana layout.

Because it is not meant for 60 mm round boxes or DIN-rail mounting, it is mainly used in panels and bulkheads where Plana flush or table boxes are already part of the build.

Installation and setup

Position the frame in the compatible box, square it up, and secure it with the supplied screws from the front. After the frame is fixed, install the Plana modules from the front side, then finish with a matching Plana cover plate sized for an 8-module frame.

In damp areas, keep the assembly behind the finished plate and avoid mounting locations that see direct spray or standing water.

Materials and corrosion resistance

The frame is made from thermoplastic, so it will not corrode. For marine installations, the surrounding details still matter: use clean cable routing, proper strain relief, and sealing where moisture can track into the box.

Use cases on board

This frame is a good fit when you are building a multi-gang Plana station such as grouped lighting controls, accessory switches, or mixed power and data modules, as long as the specified Vimar boxes are being used.

It also makes sense for refits where you want consistent module spacing across cabins and helm panels with a flush finish.

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.
