This VMI rectangular range hood liner is the metal housing that fits inside a 36-inch wood mantel hood shell and accepts a compatible Air-Pro ventilator. It bridges the decorative enclosure and the air-moving unit, finished in black to recede inside the hood opening.
A wood mantel hood is built in three parts: the decorative wood shell, the liner, and the ventilator. The shell provides the look. The ventilator moves the air. This liner is the structural middle piece that ties them together. It sits inside the shell and provides the correct housing geometry so the Air-Pro ventilator mounts securely and seats flush. Without the right liner, the ventilator has nothing to locate into, and the shell has no internal structure to work against.
Inside a painted or dark-stained mantel hood, a black-finish liner disappears into the opening rather than contrasting with the surrounding woodwork. That matters when the hood valance is open to view from across the room and the interior should read as a shadow rather than an exposed metal panel. For lighter wood species or paint-grade shells finished in a pale color, other liner finishes are available in this series. This one is the right choice when the interior of the hood is dark or when visual continuity with a black appliance finish is the goal.
This liner is the right specification for a 36-inch mantel-style hood installation that pairs a wood shell with one of the listed Air-Pro ventilator models. Cabinet shops building custom hood assemblies, installers specifying the full shell-liner-ventilator stack, and designers coordinating hardware finishes across a dark kitchen will all find the model-matched fit and the black finish useful. Because the liner is matched to specific ventilator models, confirm the Air-Pro model being installed before ordering. The wood shell and the Air-Pro ventilator are each separate purchases.
No. This is the liner only. The decorative wood shell and the Air-Pro ventilator that moves the air are separate products, chosen to match this liner's dimensions and compatibility list.
The Air-Pro 011, 01A, 021, 02A, and 04 models are confirmed compatible. Specify the liner alongside one of these ventilators to ensure the unit seats correctly inside the shell.
Black works best when the hood interior is dark, the surrounding cabinetry is a deep finish, or you want the liner to recede visually. For lighter interiors or where a bright metallic contrast is acceptable, the silver metallic and stainless options in this series are the alternative.
The liner is 34-7/16 inches wide, 19-1/2 inches deep, and 4 inches tall, with an 11-13/16 by 17-1/2 inch hole for the ventilator. These are the fit-critical numbers to check against the shell and the ventilator before ordering.
Specify this black-finish liner to connect a 36-inch wood mantel hood shell to a compatible Air-Pro ventilator, with a finish that keeps the hardware out of sight inside the opening.
