Vimar 8000 Series 2-Module Surface Enclosure, IP55, RAL 7035 Grey

Overview

The Vimar VM13522 is an IP55 surface-mount enclosure for two Vimar 8000 Series standard modules in RAL 7035 grey. It is used to house compatible wiring devices where you want extra protection against spray and dust.

Because it mounts on the surface, it works well on bulkheads, consoles, and liners where there is no space for a recessed box. It also helps keep the installation more contained in areas that see frequent cleaning or occasional splashes.

The housing is non-metallic and insulating, which is useful around terminals and onboard wiring. IP protection depends on correct mounting and properly sealed cable entries for your specific location.

Key features

• IP55-rated enclosure for installs exposed to spray, washdowns, and airborne dust when correctly sealed
• 2-module capacity for Vimar 8000 Series standard modules
• Surface-mount format for bulkheads, consoles, and cabin panels without a recessed mounting box
• Non-metallic, insulating housing suited to marine electrical fit-outs
• RAL 7035 grey finish

Installation and setup

Mount the enclosure on a flat, stable surface so the sealing areas sit evenly. In high-vibration spots, back up thin panels and use fasteners that will not loosen over time.

Maintain the IP55 protection by using cable glands or grommets matched to the cable diameter and by sealing any fastener penetrations as needed for the mounting surface. Form drip loops on incoming cables so water does not track toward the enclosure.

Compatibility and fit

This enclosure is sized for two Vimar 8000 Series standard modules. Confirm that the devices you are fitting are the 8000 module format and that your faceplate and accessories are intended for protected, surface-mounted installations.

If your system uses a different Vimar family or a specialty module format, verify module size and the correct enclosure style before ordering.

Use on board

This style of enclosure is typically used for switches and outlets mounted in cockpits, flybridges, deck access areas, and utility spaces where a surface box is preferred over a flush-mount back box. It is also useful for refits where you want added protection without cutting into finished panels.

This product is a good match for boats already using Vimar 8000 Series devices and needing a 2-module, surface-mounted enclosure for wet or dusty zones.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt residue off the exterior when practical and avoid aggressive solvents that can haze plastics. Periodically check that mounting screws stay tight and that any cable glands remain snug, especially after service work in the area.

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.
