This VMI 9148 SUS rectangular liner is the stainless steel metal insert that seats inside a 42-inch wood mantel hood shell and houses a compatible Air-Pro ventilator, forming the functional core of the finished hood assembly.
A wood mantel range hood is built in layers: the decorative wood shell on the outside, the liner in the middle, and the ventilator that actually moves air fitted into the liner. This stainless steel liner is the middle piece. It drops into the wood shell and provides the precise housing the Air-Pro ventilator needs to mount securely and operate correctly. Without a properly matched liner, the ventilator has no stable seat in the shell, and the finished hood does not function as intended. The rectangular profile and the 15-15/16 x 25-3/16 inch opening are sized specifically for the 06WP, 06E, and 07WP ventilator models.
The Stainless Steel finish is a practical choice for the liner position. It sits inside the hood shell, largely hidden behind the ventilator and valance, but visible if someone looks up into the hood during installation or maintenance. Stainless reads as clean and neutral against most wood species and kitchen finishes, and it holds up to the heat and cooking vapor environment inside an active hood. For installations where the liner interior is visible and the designer wants a consistent metal finish, stainless is a natural match alongside stainless appliances or hardware in the kitchen.
This liner suits a 42-inch mantel hood project where the specified ventilator is an Air-Pro 06WP, 06E, or 07WP. Cabinet shops building custom hood assemblies, contractors installing wood hood systems, and designers specifying a complete mantel hood package all need the liner matched to both the shell size and the ventilator model. Because the opening dimension and overall footprint are fixed, confirming the shell width and ventilator model before ordering is the step that keeps the installation moving. This liner is for the liner position only: the wood shell and the ventilator are separate products.
It is designed for the Air-Pro 06WP, 06E, and 07WP ventilators. Other Air-Pro models require a different liner matched to their mounting dimensions.
No. This is the liner only. The Air-Pro ventilator and the decorative wood hood shell are each separate purchases. All three components are needed for a complete hood assembly.
The liner interior is largely concealed by the ventilator and the valance of the wood shell, though it may be visible when looking up into the hood. Stainless presents a clean, neutral surface in that position.
The liner is 40-7/16 inches wide, 19-1/2 inches deep, and 4 inches tall, with a hole opening of 15-15/16 x 25-3/16 inches for the ventilator.
Specify this 42-inch stainless steel liner when the ventilator is an Air-Pro 06WP, 06E, or 07WP and the project calls for a stainless interior finish, so the shell, liner, and ventilator go together as a complete, properly seated hood.
