VIKING VDVI600 600 CFM Interior Inline Blower for Select Viking Downactive and Range Hood Systems - VDVI600
The Viking VDVI600 600 CFM Interior Blower is a 600 CFM interior‑mounted blower/ventilator designed for use with select Viking downactive and range hood systems. It helps remove smoke, steam, grease, and cooking odors from your kitchen and can be installed inside a cabinet, under a counter, or remotely to save space and reduce noise in the cooking area. The flexible ducting design lets you vent the air left, right, down, or remotely away from the cooktop, giving installation versatility in mid‑sized spaces.
