Vimar IDEA 4-Module Mounting Frame, Screws Included, Grey, Thermoplastic

Overview

The Vimar VM16714 is a 4-module mounting frame with fixing screws for Vimar rectangular 4-module flush mounting boxes in the Idea system, finished in grey.

It is the piece that holds the modular inserts in place behind the cover plate, so your switches, outlets, or other Idea modules sit straight and stay secure when the boat is moving.

This frame is a mechanical fitting only; the electrical ratings and wiring details come from the modules and the mounting box you pair it with.

Key features

• 4-module frame for Vimar Idea rectangular flush mounting installations
• Supplied with fixing screws for screw mounting to the box
• Modules mount from the back side, keeping the front clean behind the cover plate
• Can be installed in horizontal or vertical orientation
• Thermoplastic construction, so the frame itself will not corrode in a damp cabin or galley environment
• Overall frame size about 60 x 122 mm (2.36 x 4.8 in.)

Compatibility and fit

This is sized for 4-module Vimar Idea layouts and is meant for rectangular 4-module mounting boxes. It is not a match for round junction boxes or floor-box style enclosures.

Common box pairings include VMV71304, VMV71304.AU, and VMV71614, and it is used behind 4-module Idea cover plates (round or square styles).

Installation and setup

Mount the compatible flush box solidly in the bulkhead or panel opening, then fasten the frame with the supplied screws. With the frame secured, the modular inserts are fitted from the back side before the cover plate is installed.

On boats, take a moment to confirm the box is supported so vibration does not work the panel loose over time, especially in helms and high-traffic cabin areas.

Use on board

This frame is a good match when you are building or refreshing a Vimar Idea switch or outlet station at the helm, nav desk, galley, or cabin entry, where you want a tidy flush finish with standard Idea modules.

If the location sees frequent spray or washdowns, pair the assembly with an appropriate cover plate or enclosure so the electrical parts are protected for that environment.

Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.

Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.

To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
