Vimar Hollow-Wall Flush-Mount Box, 6/7-Module, 68 mm Cutout, GW 850°C

Overview

The Vimar VMV71706 is a 6 to 7-module flush-mount box for hollow walls, sized to hold up to 7 modular electrical devices behind a finished panel.

The cutout pattern is laid out around a 68 mm hole saw, which helps get a clean opening in materials like plasterboard and similar thin panels. With a 50 mm internal depth and an overall footprint of 193 mm by 72.5 mm, it gives you workable space for wiring while staying tidy behind liners and console panels.

It uses halogen-free plastic and carries a glow-wire rating of 850 °C. The box is rated IP00, so it belongs in dry, protected locations rather than anywhere that sees spray or washdowns.

Key features

• 6 to 7-module in-line box for hollow walls, supports up to 7 device positions
• Hole preparation uses a 68 mm hole saw, with a centring plate on the back to help line things up
• Metal fins clamp to panel thicknesses from 1 to 38 mm for a firm hold in liners and bulkheads
• Break-out openings for conduit or sleeving in 16, 20, or 25 mm sizes, with 18 entry points total
• Metal screw lugs for mounting device supports by screwing
• Halogen-free plastic body with glow-wire rating 850 °C; IP00 for dry, protected installations

Installation and setup

Mark the hole pattern using the rear centring plate, drill with a 68 mm hole saw, then finish the opening so the box sits flat against the panel surface.

Bring wiring or conduit in through the break-outs, position the box, and tighten the metal fins until the box is secure. Plan for service access by leaving enough slack inside the 50 mm cavity to remove devices later without pulling on the conductors.

Compatibility and fit

This box is intended for installations that use a 6 to 7-module in-line support that screws to the box. Confirm the device support and faceplate you plan to use are sized for up to 7 modules and match the fixing points.

Because it is a hollow-wall box, it works best where there is a void behind the surface, such as cabin liners, furniture panels, and lightweight bulkheads.

Use cases on board

Common onboard locations include cabin bulkheads, nav stations, galley panels, and helm consoles where you want a flush bank of switches or outlets without adding a surface box.

It is a good match for refits and new builds that route wiring in conduit behind interior liners. For damp areas, keep the installation behind a sealed front assembly and away from direct spray, since the box itself is IP00.
