Vimar 8000 Series 3 Special Module Cover Plate, For 3-Module Flush Mounting Boxes, Snap-Fix

Overview

The Vimar 8000 Series is a range of 3 special module Snapfix cover plates for 3-module flush mounting boxes, offered here in gold, bronze, and ivory finishes. All versions fit mounting frame 08531.S, install with snap fixing and clamp mounting, and can be set horizontally or vertically with a 3-module horizontal layout or 1-module vertical layout.

For a boat refit, this is the visible trim piece around the wiring device assembly rather than the device itself. It works best in protected interior spaces such as cabins, salons, and enclosed helm areas, where the plate stays out of washdowns and direct weather. The listed protection rating is IP00, so it is not meant for exposed exterior mounting.

Finish and base material change by variant. Gold and bronze versions use anodized aluminium with a matt surface and measure 120 x 75.5 x 6 mm. The ivory version uses resin with a matt surface and measures 123 x 75.5 x 6 mm.

Key features

• 3 special module cover plate for 3-module flush mounting boxes
• Fits mounting frame 08531.S
• Snap-fix attachment with clamp mounting

Variants

This cover plate is offered in three finish options within the same 8000 Series format.

The main differences are finish, base material, and overall width. Gold and bronze share the same anodized aluminium construction and 120 mm width. Ivory changes to resin and is listed at 123 mm wide. All three versions use the same 3 special module layout, snap-fix mounting style, and frame reference 08531.S.

• VM08657: Gold finish in anodized aluminium with a matt surface. This version keeps the metal look of the range while using the same flush-mount snap-fix format.
• VM08657.BR: Bronze finish in anodized aluminium with a matt surface. The darker tone works well where the switch trim needs to sit naturally with warmer hardware and interior fittings.
• VM08657.A: Ivory finish in resin with a matt surface. This version changes both color and material, and its listed width is 123 mm instead of 120 mm.

Compatibility and fit

Match the plate to a 3-module flush mounting box and mounting frame 08531.S before ordering. These plates are part of a specific wiring device format, so the frame and device layout matter more than finish alone. That is the key check when replacing a damaged plate or refreshing an existing switch position without changing the box behind it.

Use on board

This range suits cabin lighting panels, interior outlet surrounds, and other built-in switch positions where the faceplate remains visible and finish matters. It is a good match for refit work in protected spaces, not for open deck locations or compartments that see regular 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.
