Overview
The Vimar VM09968 is a 3-module surface or table mounting box with a 40 mm backplate for Vimar 8000, Linea, and 7000 series devices. It measures 80 x 124 x 40 mm and gives you a clean way to mount modular controls when a flush box is not available or you do not want to cut into a panel or bulkhead.
For fit, plan around a cover plate size up to 80 x 124 mm and installed device depth up to 38 mm. The box is IP20 and not weatherproof, so it belongs in protected interior locations rather than exposed cockpits or areas that get washdowns.

Compatibility and fit
This is a 3-module box sized around cover plates up to 80 x 124 mm. Before ordering devices, check the installed depth of the mechanisms and wiring so the total depth stays within 38 mm and the cover sits flat.
It is intended for surface or table mounting with the matching frames and plates from the Vimar 8000, Linea, and 7000 families. If you are mixing series, verify the frame and cover plate you are using is listed for a 3-module rectangular mounting box in that range.
Installation and setup
For surface mounting, secure the base to the bulkhead or panel using the fixing slots, then route the cable through a suitable entry point and complete the assembly with the chosen frame, device modules, and cover plate. For table mounting, the cord-grip entry is used to anchor the cable so it does not pull on terminals when the unit gets moved.
When installing multiple boxes side by side, the built-in alignment and fastening features help keep spacing consistent so the finished row of frames and plates lines up cleanly.
Use cases on board
This box fits refits and additions where you need a surface-mounted switch, outlet, or control set in cabins, nav stations, inside helm consoles, and other protected spaces. It is also a practical choice when a liner, furniture panel, or wiring chase makes a flush box awkward.
Maintenance and care
Keep it in a dry, protected area and avoid direct spray or washdowns due to the IP20 rating. If it needs cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, and keep water away from live devices and terminations.
