Range hood liners from VMI, Inc. in the 9188 SUS model give a defined stainless steel interior for wood range hoods using Air-Pro 08WP or 08E ventilators, creating a consistent surface where the blower and duct opening interface with the surrounding wood structure. This rectangular mantel liner is specified at 54 inches, so it spans wider hood designs that match that mantel width in custom or semi-custom cabinetry layouts. The stainless steel material forms a hard, smooth boundary between the ventilator and the wood range hood body, shaping a controlled area for capture and exhaust while leaving the decorative wood treatment outside the working zone. As a range hood liner in the Wood Range Hoods class, it focuses on that internal cavity definition rather than changing the external hood style.
This 54 inch rectangular mantel liner defines how the interior of a wood hood is organized around an Air-Pro 08WP or 08E ventilator, because the mantel width sets the main frontal span. The rectangular plan keeps every edge straight, which shapes a clear boundary line where the liner meets the surrounding wood trim and makes the internal opening a predictable rectangle. The stainless steel construction in the 9188 SUS model establishes a single material surface across the hood interior, so the ventilator face and duct transition engage that interior using one continuous metal plane rather than changing materials at the hood edge.
The Premium Rectangular Wood Range Hood Liners from VMI, Inc., with part number 9188 SUS, are described as range hood liners in the Wood Range Hoods category, so they serve inside wood kitchen hoods rather than as visible outer shells. The web description states that these are rectangular liners designed for Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators, which places them directly in the airflow path of those specified ventilator models. Because this liner is identified as a mantel liner at 54 inches, it strongly matches mantels that are engineered around that same width, supporting hood designs where the decorative wood profile spans that frontal dimension while the stainless steel liner creates the internal working cavity.
The SAP description calling out â??54" RECTANGULAR MANTEL LINER, STNLSS STLâ? identifies three coordinated traits - 54 inch width, rectangular geometry, and stainless steel material - and these work together to standardize how the ventilator sits inside the wood hood enclosure. The fixed 54 inch mantel span limits the lateral space where an Air-Pro 08WP or 08E ventilator can be positioned, so once that span is chosen, the internal mounting region is defined by the liner footprint. The rectangular shape means each corner of the liner forms a right angle, which simplifies aligning the ventilator housing and duct opening to straight cabinet lines above the cooking surface. The stainless steel construction creates a continuous metal boundary along that rectangle, so the ventilator intake and any exposed interior surfaces share the same material interface, concentrating the working environment inside the liner area while the surrounding wood remains outside that active zone.
The 9188 SUS part is a range hood liner in the Wood Range Hoods category, so it functions as the internal metal liner inside a wood kitchen range hood assembly.
This range hood liner is described as a rectangular liner designed for Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators, so those ventilator models define its intended blower interface.
The SAP description specifies a 54 inch rectangular mantel liner, so the frontal span of the stainless steel liner is based on a 54 inch mantel width.
The web description identifies this VMI, Inc. 9188 SUS liner as rectangular, so the hood interior it defines follows a straight-edged rectangular footprint.
The SAP text lists this mantel liner as stainless steel, so the interior hood surface created by the liner is formed from stainless steel.
This product is a range hood liner in the Wood Range Hoods class, so it is used inside wood range hood structures in kitchen installations.
The rectangular stainless steel mantel liner from VMI, Inc., identified as part 9188 SUS, is defined as a 54 inch range hood liner for Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators, so it targets wood hood projects based on that ventilator pairing. The Range Hood Liners product class and Wood Range Hoods category place its role squarely inside a wood hood enclosure, shaping the stainless steel interior cavity while leaving the exterior styling to the wood design. Where a 54 inch rectangular mantel span and the 08WP or 08E ventilator are part of the plan, this liner provides the specified internal stainless steel boundary around that equipment.
