IP40 is for dry, protected locations, so it belongs inside the cabin, under a hardtop, or in other sheltered areas rather than places that see washdowns or direct spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface-mount box for 4-module Vimar Idea devices or 4 Vimar 8000 special modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 protection for sheltered mounting points where you want basic protection against contact and debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard dimensions: 136 x 56 x 83 mm for planning clearances behind the installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied with 4 adaptors 08491 for fitting 8000 standard modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional side and bottom knockouts to support cable entry and side-by-side installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptive cross-slotted stainless steel screws to help prevent lost hardware during wiring work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnopolymer body with a bright RAL 7035 grey surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 surface-mount enclosure (grey, RAL 7035)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 x adaptor 08491 for 8000 standard module mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis enclosure is sized for Vimar Idea modular devices up to 4 modules wide and for Vimar 8000 special modules. The included adaptors allow the same box to be used with 8000 standard modules when that format is part of the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is surface-mounted, it is a practical option on fiberglass liners, thin panels, and refit locations where there is limited depth for a recessed box. Confirm the available space for the enclosure depth and for conductor bend radius before drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the enclosure to a flat surface, route conductors through the provided knockouts, and use appropriate glands or bushings so the cable jacket is protected and strain relief is handled cleanly. A drip loop on any incoming cable helps keep incidental moisture from tracking into the wiring area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe IP40 rating assumes the installation is completed with the enclosure closed and with suitable cable or conduit entries. When the installed device has an open front, such as a socket outlet, the protection at the front of the device is lower than IP40, but it is not lower than IP20.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhere it fits on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for interior switch groups at the nav station, at a cabin entry, inside lockers, or on a protected helm console where surface mounting keeps the job simple and avoids cutting into finished panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your mounting location is exposed to spray, rain, or routine washdowns, plan for a higher ingress protection enclosure rather than an IP40 box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52268865552565,"sku":"QBP170603","price":10.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1297965_qbp170603.jpg?v=1771540532","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp170603","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
