This VMI 9162 SUS is a 30-inch T-shaped range hood liner in a Stainless Steel finish, designed to seat inside a wood hood shell and accept a compatible Air-Pro ventilator. It is the critical bridge between the decorative wood enclosure and the air-moving hardware that powers it.
A wood range hood is built from three distinct parts: the decorative shell, the liner, and the ventilator that moves the air. This liner occupies the middle role. It mounts inside the wood shell and provides the housing into which the Air-Pro ventilator seats, so the finished assembly functions as a single coordinated unit. Without the liner, the ventilator has no proper mounting point inside the shell, and the installation cannot close out cleanly. The T-shaped profile is specific to this product family and should not be substituted with a rectangular liner from the same series.
The Stainless Steel finish on this liner is a practical choice for the hood interior. It holds up in the warm, occasionally greasy environment directly above the cooktop without showing wear the way painted finishes can over time. For installers who leave the liner visible during service or cleaning, the stainless surface is also easier to wipe down. The finish coordinates naturally with stainless ventilator hardware and keeps the interior looking intentional rather than incidental.
Cabinet shops and kitchen installers building a wood range hood around an Air-Pro ventilator are the primary buyers. The liner is model-specific: it is engineered for the Air-Pro 011, 01A, 021, 02A, and 04 ventilators, so it is chosen alongside, not after, the ventilator selection. Homeowners finishing a hood replacement and designers coordinating a full kitchen package will want to confirm the ventilator model before ordering, since a mismatch in liner type or size creates a fitment problem that requires a reorder. The 30-inch size suits a standard 30-inch hood run; confirm the shell opening matches the liner's dimensions before the order ships.
No. This is the liner only. The Air-Pro ventilator is a separate purchase and is selected to match the cooktop and installation requirements.
No. The decorative wood shell is a separate product. This liner fits inside the shell and houses the ventilator; all three components are ordered independently.
The T-shaped profile is specific to this liner model and the Air-Pro ventilator models listed. A rectangular liner from the same series will not seat the same way. Match the liner shape to the ventilator model to ensure proper fit.
The liner sits inside the hood cavity, so its finish is not typically visible in normal use. Stainless Steel is a durable option for that environment and is a natural match for stainless ventilator hardware. Other finish options are available in the same liner family if the installation calls for a different interior look.
Specify the VMI 9162 SUS when the installation pairs a 30-inch wood hood shell with one of the listed Air-Pro ventilator models and calls for a Stainless Steel interior finish. Locking in the liner at the ventilator-selection stage keeps the install on track from framing to finish.
