VMI 30"W Hickory Plain Valance Wall Mount Range Hood, Liner Sold Separately - FVAL 30 H

VMI 30 Inch Hickory Valance Wall Range Hood

VMI 30" hickory plain valance wall mount range hood provides a 30 inch wide wood hood built from hickory for use in kitchen projects that call for a valance-style wall mount hood. The hood is part of VMI's value line of wood range hoods, so it fits into projects that need consistent, repeatable components from the same manufacturer. As a wall mount range hood in the wood range hoods class, it is suited to kitchen and bath cabinet layouts where the hood is integrated with upper cabinets. The hood uses hickory as the specified wood species, which aligns it with hickory cabinet runs so finished color and grain can be matched during finishing work. This hood is identified by manufacturer part FVAL 30 H, giving installers a clear reference when ordering, reordering, or pairing it with matching VMI liners and ventilators.

Key Details Of This VMI Hickory Hood

• The hood is 30 inches wide, which fits standard 30 inch cooktop or range layouts and simplifies sizing inside common wall cabinet runs.
• The hood is a plain valance design, which creates a straightforward profile that can be finished to suit a range of kitchen styles without changing the core structure.
• The hood is wall mount, so it is intended for installations where the unit is fixed to the wall within kitchen and bath cabinet configurations.
• The hood is part of VMI's value line of wood range hoods, which keeps the product consistent with matching VMI liners and ventilators specified for this series.
• The hood is described as standard valance hickory, giving installers a clear description when matching it to other hickory components in the same project.

Installation Role And Matching Liner Selection

This VMI 30" hickory plain valance wall mount range hood is designed to work with specific VMI ventilators, including 290 CFM ventilators from the FFBUF-01A Series, 290 CFM ventilators from the FFBUF-011 Series, 280 CFM ventilators from the FFBUF-04 Series, 390 CFM ventilators from the FFBUF-02A Series, and 390 CFM ventilators from the FFBUF-021 Series. The hood requires a liner, and VMI offers liners sold separately in T-shaped and rectangular configurations, so installers can match the liner configuration to the hood type or other custom arrangements. The T-shaped liners are specifically designed for valance hoods, which ties directly to this valance hood style and streamlines liner selection for this model.

Using This 30 Inch Hickory Hood In Projects

Where This VMI 30 Inch Hickory Hood Fits

This VMI 30" hickory plain valance wall mount range hood fits kitchen designs that specify a 30 inch wide hood over the cooking area, aligning with the three available VMI hood widths of 30, 36, and 42 inches. By using the 30 inch width in this range, installers can coordinate with other VMI hood sizes on multi-station layouts while keeping a common product family. The hood is classified in the kitchen and bath cabinet accessories category under wood range hoods, which positions it for use in cabinet-based kitchen builds and remodels rather than stand-alone metal hood systems. Because the hood is built as part of VMI's value line of wood range hoods and liners, it fits into jobs where components are planned around that line for predictable pairing with VMI ventilators and liners.

Details That Support Consistent Results On Site

The hood is specified as hickory, one of the four species in VMI's value line of wood range hoods: Red Oak, Maple, Hickory, and Cherry. That shared species list allows shops to standardize on a species across hoods and cabinets when they work within the same value line. All hoods in this line are unfinished, so finishing teams can stain or paint on site or in the shop to match existing casework or new cabinet runs while starting from the same bare wood surface. All hoods in the value line are designed to work with the listed VMI ventilators, so mechanical planning for airflow can be coordinated once and reused across different hood widths or species. Liners for this hood are offered in White, Black, Biscuit, Silver Metallic, and Stainless Steel finishes, letting designers and installers choose a liner color that coordinates with appliances or trim. The liners are made of metal, except the Stainless Steel finish which is made of stainless steel, so the interior of the hood uses a durable liner surface suited to kitchen use while the exterior remains a hickory wood shell.
