This VMI T-shaped liner is the metal housing component that fits inside a wood range hood shell and accepts an Air-Pro 03A ventilator, finished in black to coordinate with dark or contrasting kitchen designs.
A finished wood range hood is built from three distinct parts: the decorative wood shell on the outside, the liner fitted inside it, and the ventilator that actually moves air. This liner is the middle piece. It sits inside the wood hood shell and provides the housing that the Air-Pro 03A ventilator mounts into. Without the liner, the ventilator has no seat and the shell has no structural interior. With all three in place, the assembly reads as one cohesive hood rather than a collection of separate components.
The T-shaped profile and the specific hole size are engineered to match the Air-Pro 03A, so the ventilator drops in cleanly rather than requiring modification or shimming.
Most hood liners ship in silver metallic or stainless, which suits light cabinetry and neutral appliance packages. The black finish on this liner is the right call when the surrounding cabinets are dark, when the appliances run black, or when the design uses contrast as a deliberate choice. Because the liner sits inside the wood shell, it is largely concealed during normal use, but it remains visible from certain angles and during installation. A finish mismatch in that zone reads as a detail that was not thought through. Selecting the black liner closes that gap.
This liner is for a cabinet shop, installer, or designer who has already chosen the wood hood shell and the Air-Pro 03A ventilator and needs the confirmed-fit liner to complete the assembly. It also serves as a replacement when an existing liner in a black-finish installation is damaged or needs to be swapped. Because the fit is model-specific, the liner, the shell dimensions, and the ventilator model are all confirmed before ordering so the unit seats correctly and the hood goes together without rework.
This liner is matched to the Air-Pro 03A ventilator series. It is not a universal liner and is not confirmed for other Air-Pro models.
No. This is the liner only. The Air-Pro 03A ventilator and the decorative wood hood shell are separate purchases.
The black finish is the right fit when the kitchen uses dark cabinetry, black appliances, or a contrasting design. Silver metallic and stainless are better matched to light or neutral palettes.
It is sold individually as a single liner unit.
When the design calls for a black-finish hood assembly built around the Air-Pro 03A, this liner is the confirmed-fit component that brings the shell and the ventilator together as one finished unit.
