Overview
The Vimar Protected & Watertight Series is an IP55 cover plate range for three 8000 standard modules. It closes and protects a 3-module electrical point where moisture and dust are part of the environment. When mounted on a smooth waterproof wall without grooves, the assembled cover reaches IP55 protection, and with the cover open the rating is IPX2.
This range works well on boats that already use Vimar 8000 modules and need a protected finish in places such as cockpits, utility compartments, and covered exterior stations. The cover is made of plastic with full insulating material, so it fits installations where touch-safe trim and a clean finished look both matter.
Key features
- Fits three Vimar 8000 standard modules
- IP55 protection when installed on a smooth waterproof wall without grooves
- IPX2 protection with the cover open
- Plastic body with full insulating material
- Available in RAL 7035 grey or RAL 9001 ivory
Variants
This cover plate is offered in two color configurations for the same 3-module protected format.
Across both variants, the fit stays the same: each version is for three Vimar 8000 standard modules and uses the same installation conditions for IP55 protection. The confirmed difference between them is the color finish.
- VM13731.Q: Grey. This version uses a RAL 7035 grey finish and suits installations where the surrounding trim is already grey or other light neutral tones are in use.
- VM13731.Q.A: Ivory. This version uses a RAL 9001 ivory finish and is a closer visual match for panels and interiors that use warmer light tones.
Compatibility and fit
This version is the 3-module cover for the Vimar 8000 standard module format. It is worth checking the module family before ordering, especially in refit work, because other covers in the same protected range are made for different module combinations.
Installation and protection
The protection rating depends on the mounting surface as much as the plate itself. To reach the stated IP55 level, the cover needs to sit against a smooth waterproof wall without grooves so the contact area stays even. In places where the cover may be left open during use, the exposed condition is IPX2 rather than IP55, which matters when planning helm, deckhouse, or service-area locations.
