This VMI recirculation kit converts a compatible ventilation unit to ductless, recirculating operation, returning filtered air to the kitchen rather than venting it to the outside through ductwork.
Not every kitchen installation can run ductwork to the outside. Apartments, upper-floor kitchens, island installations, and renovations where cutting through walls or ceilings is not practical all benefit from a recirculating setup. This kit enables that configuration on a compatible VMI unit, so the hood can be installed and function without exterior duct access. Air is captured, filtered, and returned to the room rather than exhausted outside.
The kit carries a 7-inch diameter and is designated Large, which places it at the upper end of this two-size family. Getting the size right matters because the recirculation kit must seat properly in the ventilation unit to work as intended. If the installation calls for the smaller variant, that SKU is the one to order. Confirm the ventilation unit model and the required kit size before adding to cart.
This kit is the right choice for installers, cabinet shops, and homeowners completing a wood range hood installation on a compatible VMI ventilation unit where exterior ducting is not available or not desired. It is an accessory, not a standalone ventilation unit, so the ventilation unit itself is a separate component that must already be part of the project. Designers specifying a ductless kitchen layout can call this kit out alongside the ventilator and wood shell in the hardware schedule.
It converts a compatible ventilation unit from ducted to ductless operation. Instead of sending air outside through ductwork, the unit filters the captured air and returns it to the kitchen.
No. This is the large, 7-inch diameter kit. There is also a smaller variant in the same family. Match the kit size to the ventilation unit before ordering.
No. This is the recirculation kit only. The ventilation unit and the decorative wood hood shell are separate products.
Recirculating hoods rely on filters to clean the air before returning it to the room. Replacement charcoal or grease filters for the ventilation unit are consumable accessories and are sold separately.
Where running a duct to the outside is off the table, this recirculation kit keeps the installation moving by enabling the compatible VMI unit to work without one. Size it to the unit, confirm the fit, and the hood is ready to go.
