Vimar Eikon Round Cover Plate, 8 (4+4)-Module

Overview

The Vimar Eikon 20698 is an 8 (4+4)-module round cover plate for Eikon wiring device layouts, with support for horizontal or vertical mounting. In this range, the plate size stays at 142.6 x 151.1 x 9.8 mm and the fixing method is clamp mounting, so the main buying decision is the finish and material rather than a change in footprint or module format.

On board, this is the trim piece that finishes a grouped switch or outlet installation and gives the panel a cleaner look around the devices. It is a practical fit for interior switch banks in cabins, saloons, passageways, and other protected spaces where an 8-module Eikon layout is already planned or installed.

This cover plate carries an IP00 rating, so it belongs in dry interior locations rather than exposed exterior positions or washdown zones. It is suitable for built-in installation and is also listed for wall duct and subfloor installation duct box applications.

Key features

• 8 (4+4)-module round cover plate for the Vimar Eikon system
• Can be mounted horizontally or vertically in a 4 by 2 module layout
• Clamp-mounting format with mounting grid
• Overall size is approximately 142.6 mm wide, 151.1 mm high, and 9.8 mm deep
• Suitable for built-in installation, wall duct, and subfloor installation duct box use
• IP00 front rating, so it is intended for protected interior areas
• Range includes lacquered metal, refined metal, stainless steel, and solid wood finish options

Variants

This family is offered in a wide spread of finishes, including polished gold, silver, matt titanium, satin gold, metallic anthracite, Atlantic gray, metallic titanium, matt silver, satin chrome, brushed inox, white, metallic champagne, satin nickel, arctic white, and antique white. The range also includes solid wood versions in white oak, American cherrywood, and Italian walnut.

Across the range, what changes is mainly the visible finish and, in some versions, the surface material and frame treatment. The 8 (4+4)-module round format remains consistent, so the choice comes down to matching the surrounding joinery, switch styling, and the look of the interior panel where the plate will be installed.

Compatibility and fit

This plate is for Eikon installations that use an 8-module arrangement with four modules across and two vertically. Before ordering for a refit or replacement, check the existing frame and insert layout on the boat, because the plate shape and module count need to match the installed Eikon hardware.

For marine interiors, this makes sense where you want a cleaner finish around a larger control group without changing the underlying Eikon device layout. It is a good match for yachts and workboats that use Vimar switching in interior living spaces or service areas with protected mounting conditions.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward once the correct Eikon frame and inserts are already in place. The plate uses clamp mounting, so the important checks are module count, orientation, and making sure the mounting location is flat and protected from direct spray.

Because this is a finishing plate and not a sealed enclosure, it should not be treated as weather protection for the electrical devices behind it. In a marine installation, that matters most near companionways, open helms, and other spots where condensation, washdowns, or salt exposure are common.
