Overview
The Vimar VM17082 is a 2-reduced-module mounting frame with claws for ø 60 mm round flush boxes or Vimar 09971 surface mounting boxes. It supports 2 modules in a horizontal layout, or 1 module vertically, with module inserts mounted from the back side.
This is the piece that holds Vimar modular switching devices steady in the box before the cover plate goes on. On a boat, it is typically used behind cabin and helm switch points where you want a clean, serviceable installation inside a standard round box.
The frame is gray thermoplastic and it is supplied without a built-in installation box and without screws. It is intended for flush-mounted installation and uses claw fixing to grip the box.
Key features
- Fits ø 60 mm round flush junction boxes and Vimar 09971 surface mounting boxes
- Holds 2 reduced modules horizontally or 1 module vertically (module system)
- Claw mounting for secure fixing inside the round box
- Back-side insertion of module inserts for a tidy front finish and easier servicing
- Thermoplastic construction in gray
- No built-in installation box and no screws
- Not suitable for floor boxes, wall ducts, or DIN-rail 35 mm mounting
Compatibility and fit
This mounting frame is made for Vimar modular domestic switching devices in the reduced-module format and installs into standard ø 60 mm round boxes. It also matches the Vimar 09971 surface mounting box format when you need a surface install rather than a flush box.
Installation and setup
Set the frame into the round box and lock it in place using the claws, then fit the module inserts from the back side and align for a horizontal or vertical layout. On boats, it helps to confirm box depth and cable bend radius before final assembly so the modules sit flat and the wiring is not under tension when the faceplate is tightened.
Use on board
This frame makes sense for refits and new builds that use Vimar modular devices for light switching, accessory controls, and similar low-profile switch points in cabins, galleys, and helm panels. It is a good match when you are standardizing multiple locations around the boat on the same ø 60 mm round box format for cleaner service access later.
