The VMI 9038 SUS is a rectangular stainless steel hood liner sized for 48-inch island and peninsula installations, designed to accept the Air-Pro 06WP, 06E, and 07WP ventilators inside a compatible wood hood shell.
A wood range hood is assembled from three distinct parts: the decorative wood shell, the liner, and the ventilator that moves the air. This liner is the middle piece. It fits inside the wood shell and provides the housing the ventilator mounts into, so the shell, liner, and ventilator work together as one finished hood. Without the liner, the ventilator has no proper seat inside the shell, and the shell has no protected interior surface. This particular liner is engineered for island and peninsula configurations, where the hood projects over an island cooktop and is typically visible from all sides rather than set against a wall.
The stainless steel finish on this liner is a practical choice for the interior of a working hood. The surface stands up to the heat, grease, and cleaning that come with regular cooking, and it does not show wear the way a painted or powder-coated finish can over time. For installers coordinating a wood shell with a professional-style or mixed-metal kitchen, the stainless interior also integrates naturally with appliance finishes already in the space. The liner itself is out of view once the hood is assembled, but a surface that holds up to the environment inside the hood protects the installation for the long term.
This liner is specified for island and peninsula kitchen layouts, where the range hood sits over a cooktop that is not positioned against a wall. Cabinet shops and designers building a custom wood hood over an island will need the liner to complete the assembly before the ventilator can be installed. Because compatibility is model-specific, the Air-Pro ventilator and the wood shell dimensions should both be confirmed against this liner's specs before the order is placed. The ventilator and the decorative wood shell are each sold separately.
No. This is the liner only. The Air-Pro ventilator that moves the air is a separate purchase, selected from the compatible 06WP, 06E, or 07WP models.
The Air-Pro 06WP, 06E, and 07WP. These are the only models confirmed compatible with this liner. Confirm your ventilator model before ordering.
Island and peninsula hoods sit over a freestanding cooktop and are designed to receive airflow from below on all sides rather than being backed against a wall. The liner geometry and ventilator mounting points reflect that configuration, so an island-specific liner is the correct fit for this type of installation.
No. This is the liner only. The decorative wood shell that encloses the liner is a separate product and is chosen to match the kitchen design and species.
Specify the VMI 9038 SUS when the job calls for a 48-inch island or peninsula wood hood assembly with a stainless steel liner interior and Air-Pro 06WP, 06E, or 07WP ventilation.
