Vimar Idea 3-Module Mounting Frame, For Classica Cover Plates, For 3-Module Flush Mounting Boxes, IP55, With Screws

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16813 mounting frame is a 3-module flush-mounted frame with screws and an IP55 transparent elastic membrane cover for 3-module flush mounting boxes. It is made from thermoplastic and can be installed horizontally or vertically, which helps when panel space or switch layout on board calls for one orientation over the other.

This frame suits installations where the switch face needs protection from spray and dust without changing to a surface box. It is also suitable for a 60 mm round junction box and is intended for Classica cover plates except wood. The front size is about 122.4 x 86.2 mm, which helps when checking cutout area and surrounding trim before refit work.

Key features

• 3-module flush-mounted frame with IP55 transparent elastic membrane cover
• Supplied with fixing screws for direct installation
• Thermoplastic construction
• Can be mounted horizontally or vertically
• Suitable for 3-module flush mounting boxes and 60 mm round junction box installations
• Compatible with Classica cover plates except wood

Variants

This product is offered in two color configurations.

The variant change is the frame color. The 3-module format, screw fixing, IP55 membrane cover, flush-mounted layout, and horizontal or vertical mounting remain the same across the range.

• VM16813.Q - Color: Gray. This darker finish blends more quietly with darker switch surrounds, console panels, and trim.
• VM16813.Q.B - Color: Ivory. This lighter finish sits more softly with light-colored interiors and pale switch plate combinations.

Compatibility and fit

This frame is meant for flush-mounted installations and works with 3-module flush mounting boxes. It is not intended for wall duct systems, subfloor installation duct boxes, or DIN-rail mounting. Before ordering, it is worth checking the box format behind the panel and confirming that the cover plate used is from the Classica range, excluding wood versions.

On a boat, this type of frame makes sense where switches need a protected front face in places such as heads, galleys, cabins, and other sheltered areas that see spray, damp hands, or routine washdown nearby.

What's included

• 3-module mounting frame

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.
