This VMI rectangular liner is the metal housing that bridges a wood hood shell and a compatible Air-Pro ventilator, finished in black to disappear inside the hood body rather than draw attention.
A complete wood range hood is built from three distinct parts: the decorative wood shell that faces the kitchen, the liner that fits inside the shell, and the ventilator that actually moves the air. This liner is the middle piece. It seats inside the wood hood and provides the correctly sized opening and mounting support for the Air-Pro ventilator. Without the liner, the ventilator has no properly formed housing to mount into, and the wood shell alone provides no ventilation function whatsoever. Getting this component right is what allows the shell, liner, and ventilator to function as a finished, integrated hood.
The black finish on this liner is a practical detail, not only an aesthetic one. Inside a painted or dark-interior wood hood, a black liner recedes from view so the visible interior reads as a clean, shadow-like cavity rather than an exposed metal surface. That matters most in designs where the hood opening is visible from the cooking position or where the surrounding cabinetry is finished in darker tones. For kitchens with lighter wood or painted white interiors, sibling liners in Silver Metallic, Stainless Steel, Biscuit, or White are available in the same family to coordinate with the install.
This liner is the right choice when the ventilator is one of the Air-Pro models listed and the hood calls for a 36-inch liner position. Cabinet shops building hood assemblies, designers specifying the full hood package, and contractors sourcing replacement or new-install liner components will all find this a straightforward pull: confirm the ventilator model, confirm the 36-inch liner position, and the fit is defined. The liner is the one component that ties shell and ventilator together, so ordering it alongside the ventilator rather than as an afterthought keeps the install on schedule.
No. This is the liner only. The Air-Pro ventilator that moves air is a separate purchase, selected to match one of the compatible models: 011, 01A, 021, 02A, or 04.
No. This is the metal liner that fits inside a wood hood shell. The decorative wood shell is a separate product and is not included.
The 36-inch designation refers to the hood position it is sized for, not the outside dimension of the liner itself. The actual liner width is 34-7/16 inches, which is the dimension that fits inside the 36-inch hood opening.
The hole cut for the ventilator measures 11-13/16 by 17-1/2 inches, sized to accept the compatible Air-Pro models listed.
Match this black liner to the correct Air-Pro ventilator and the 36-inch hood position, and the shell-liner-ventilator assembly comes together as a complete, finished hood with no gaps or improvised fit.
