The frame supports horizontal and vertical mounting direction, with a 4-module horizontal by 2-module vertical grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds up to eight Plana modules in a 4+4 frame footprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Vimar V71318 and V71718 flush mounting boxes, and the 14788 table mounting box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted frame with front-side fixing; mounting screws are included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks in horizontal or vertical mounting direction for flexible panel layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermoplastic construction that keeps its shape in vibration-prone installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for 60 mm round junction boxes and not suitable for 35 mm DIN-rail mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis frame is for rectangular box installations and does not include a built-in installation box, so the correct box needs to be in place before you start. Plan your cutout and cover plate around an 8-module (4+4) Plana layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is not meant for 60 mm round boxes or DIN-rail mounting, it is mainly used in panels and bulkheads where Plana flush or table boxes are already part of the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePosition the frame in the compatible box, square it up, and secure it with the supplied screws from the front. After the frame is fixed, install the Plana modules from the front side, then finish with a matching Plana cover plate sized for an 8-module frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn damp areas, keep the assembly behind the finished plate and avoid mounting locations that see direct spray or standing water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaterials and corrosion resistance\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is made from thermoplastic, so it will not corrode. For marine installations, the surrounding details still matter: use clean cable routing, proper strain relief, and sealing where moisture can track into the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis frame is a good fit when you are building a multi-gang Plana station such as grouped lighting controls, accessory switches, or mixed power and data modules, as long as the specified Vimar boxes are being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also makes sense for refits where you want consistent module spacing across cabins and helm panels with a flush finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 (4+4)-module mounting frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269539262645,"sku":"QBP883375","price":15.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300431_qbp883375.jpg?v=1771544487","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp883375","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
