Vimar 3-Module Surface Mounting Box, For 8000, Linea and 7000, 40 mm Depth

Overview

The Vimar 3 Modules Surface Mounting Box is a 3-module surface box for bringing Vimar controls or outlets onto a finished wall or ceiling when there is no recess for flush mounting. It measures 80 x 124 mm with a 40 mm depth, and it works with the relevant Vimar 8000, Linea, and 7000 mounting frames, cover plates, or self-bearing cover plates.

For onboard electrical work, this box makes sense in interior locations where surface mounting is the practical choice, such as cabins, enclosed helm areas, galleys, and protected service spaces. It has four inlets, accepts 20/25 mm conduit, carries a rated insulation voltage of 450 V, and is IP20, so it belongs in dry or sheltered mounting points rather than exposed deck or washdown areas.

Key features

• 3-module surface mounting box for the relevant Vimar 8000, Linea, and 7000 ranges
• 80 x 124 mm footprint with 40 mm depth for surface installs where flush depth is not available
• Four inlets with rear cable entry and 20/25 mm conduit compatibility
• Plastic housing with a rectangular body for wall or ceiling mounting
• IP20 protection for protected interior spaces on board
• Rated insulation voltage of 450 V and working temperature range from 0 to 60 C

Variants

This box is offered in two color versions for matching different Vimar trim finishes on board.

Across both versions, the 3-module format, 40 mm depth, 80 x 124 mm size, four inlets, wall or ceiling mounting, 20/25 mm conduit entry, and compatibility with the relevant Vimar 8000, Linea, and 7000 frames and cover plates remain the same. The change between variants is the housing color.

• VM09973: Color White. This version suits installations where the surrounding switches, sockets, or faceplates are finished in white.
• VM09973.A: Color Ivory. This version keeps the look consistent with ivory trim and older interior electrical layouts that use that tone.

Compatibility and fit

This surface box is meant for installations that use the matching Vimar support frames and plates from the listed ranges. On retrofit work, checking the exact insert and frame combination is still important before ordering, especially when an existing panel already mixes components from different Vimar families.

The 80 x 124 x 40 mm body is straightforward to place on flat bulkheads, liners, and console faces where a flush box is not possible. It is still a surface-mounted enclosure, so cable bend space and final projection from the mounting surface should be checked before drilling.

Installation and onboard use

It is intended for wall or ceiling mounting on non-perforated insulating surfaces or on metallic surfaces with earth connection. The inlet layout and rear entry help when the cable run comes through conduit or from the back side of a panel.

This is a good match for boats that already use Vimar trim in protected interior spaces and need a clean surface mount without changing the rest of the switch or outlet layout. It is less suited to open cockpit positions, exterior lockers, or any location that sees direct spray.

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.
