The VMI 5075 stabilizing clamps are 2-inch-wide mounting clamps designed to secure in-line blowers with 8-inch or 10-inch diameter housings in place during a range hood ventilation installation.
An in-line blower mounts inside the duct run above the hood, often in a ceiling cavity, attic space, or wall chase. Without secure mounting hardware, vibration from the blower motor can transfer through the ductwork and the surrounding structure over time. These stabilizing clamps hold the blower housing in position at installation, reducing movement and keeping the unit properly aligned with the duct on either side. The 2-inch width spreads the clamping force across a wider contact band than a narrow clamp, which helps seat the blower evenly rather than pinching it at a single point.
The clamps fit in-line blower housings at both the 8-inch and 10-inch diameter, which covers the two most common sizes used in residential range hood runs. These are VMI-sourced components intended for use with compatible VMI in-line ventilation units. Because an in-line blower is the air-moving hardware and these clamps are the mounting hardware, they are selected and installed together as part of the same ventilation build-out. The decorative wood hood shell and any liner are separate products from the ventilation hardware.
These clamps are the right choice when an in-line blower is part of a ducted kitchen ventilation system and a secure, vibration-resistant mount is required. They suit new construction where the blower is being set into the duct run for the first time, as well as replacement installs where existing mounting hardware needs to be swapped out. Cabinet shops and contractors building out custom hood installations will find them useful wherever a VMI in-line blower in the 8-inch or 10-inch range is specified.
Yes. The 5075 clamps are sized to work with in-line blower housings at both 8-inch and 10-inch diameter.
No. These are the mounting clamps only. The in-line blower unit itself is a separate product and is ordered independently.
In-line blowers are used in ducted ventilation runs that vent to the outside. These mounting clamps are for that configuration.
These are VMI-sourced clamps designed for VMI in-line ventilation units. Compatibility with other brands depends on the housing diameter and construction of that unit.
When a VMI in-line blower is part of the hood system, these stabilizing clamps complete the installation by holding the unit securely in the duct run for the long term.
