Vimar 8000 Series 3-Module Snap-Fix Cover Plate, For 08531 Mounting Frame

Overview

The Vimar 8000 Series is a family of 3-module snap-fixing cover plates for 3-module flush mounting boxes and mounting frame 08531. It is the visible finishing plate for the installation, not the switch insert or the support frame.

Across the range, these cover plates support horizontal or vertical mounting and use clamp-style snap fixing. All versions are 75.5 mm high and 6 mm deep. The anodized aluminium versions are 120 mm wide, while the resin version is 123 mm wide.

For marine interiors, this style of plate fits best in protected spaces such as cabins, galleys, heads, and enclosed helm panels where the box is already flush mounted. Because the front rating is IP00, it is better suited to dry interior locations than to exposed deck or washdown areas.

Key features

• 3-module cover plate format for Vimar 8000 installations using mounting frame 08531
• Snap-fixing clamp mounting for quick front installation and easier access during service
• Can be mounted horizontally or vertically, depending on panel layout
• Suitable for flush built-in installations, wall duct systems, and subfloor installation duct boxes
• Matt surface finish across the range, with anodized aluminium or resin depending on variant
• Halogen-free construction
• Low-profile front at 6 mm depth, with 75.5 mm height on all versions

Variants

This cover plate is offered in three finish and material combinations within the same 3-module format.

What changes between variants is the visible finish, base material, and width. The snap-fixing format, fit with mounting frame 08531, horizontal or vertical installation, 75.5 mm height, and 6 mm depth stay the same across the range.

• VM08637.BR: Bronze finish in anodized aluminium, 120 mm wide. This version has a metallic bronze look that works well where darker trim and switch surrounds are already in place.
• VM08637: Gold finish in anodized aluminium, 120 mm wide. It keeps the same fit as the bronze version with a warmer metallic appearance on the face of the panel.
• VM08637.A: Ivory finish in resin, 123 mm wide. This version has a lighter non-metallic look and a slightly wider front face.

Compatibility and fit

Fit is straightforward when the installation already uses the correct Vimar support. This cover plate is made for 3-module flush mounting boxes with mounting frame 08531, and it suits both new panel work and replacement of worn or outdated trim plates in the same series.

It can also be used in wall duct and subfloor duct applications where the matching box and frame are part of the build. Before ordering, check the series, module count, and support frame rather than matching by color alone.

Installation and use on board

On refit jobs, the snap-fixing front helps when the electrical box and frame are already mounted and access around liners or cabinetry is limited. Horizontal mounting suits a row of three modules, while vertical mounting helps when panel width is tight.

This is a good match for boat owners and installers who need a clean finished edge around 8000 Series devices in protected interior spaces, especially where the rest of the switch gear already follows the same frame and module layout.

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.
