The VMI 5081 is a wall-mount on/off switch rated at 10 amps, designed to control compatible VMI range hood ventilation units from a fixed wall location.
This switch gives the range hood a dedicated wall-mounted control point, separate from any controls mounted on the ventilation unit itself. Mounted at a convenient position near the cooktop run, it puts hood power on or off without reaching up to the unit. At 10 amps, it is matched to the electrical demand of compatible VMI ventilators.
Range hood installations often call for a wall switch when the ventilator's own controls are recessed inside the wood shell or positioned out of easy reach. This switch integrates into the wiring path between the circuit and the ventilator, giving the installer a clean, accessible control point on the wall surface. It is a VMI accessory and is intended for use with VMI ventilation equipment.
This switch suits a cabinet installer, electrician, or contractor completing a VMI range hood installation that requires a wall-mounted on/off control. It is also the right replacement part when an existing VMI wall switch needs to be swapped out. Homeowners renovating a kitchen with an existing VMI ventilation system will find it a direct like-for-like replacement for the original control.
This is a VMI-specific accessory. It is intended for use with VMI ventilation units. Confirm compatibility with your specific VMI model before ordering.
No. This is a straightforward on/off switch. It does not provide variable speed or dimmer control.
The 10-amp rating reflects the maximum current the switch is designed to handle. Confirm that your VMI ventilator's electrical draw falls within that rating before installing.
For a VMI hood installation that needs a reliable wall-mounted on/off control, the VMI 5081 puts that control exactly where the installer places it.
