Broan LB30 30-Inch Hood Liner



Does the job
I bought this to go with the Broan PM390 Power Pack Range Hood Insert, Silver. I bought an older home that had an empty-inside wood hood (no over stove cabinet) and thought this liner would slip right in there, we pop the fan in, and that's it. I downloaded all the instructions, spec sheets, etc., I could find online ahead of time.

The instructions (both from the web and from the box) are confusing. We weren't even sure which end was up (looks different in different drawings). My contractor had to call the 800# for advice and that person told him that the insert is not designed to hold up the fan. He said you have to either have a cabinet or build a box. In effect, this liner is just to cover up the wood, protect it, and give a stream-lined look.

After some discussion we decided to just use the liner to hold up the fan and it seems very solid. The liner installs with the opening...

YOU NEED THIS ONE FOR SURE.
IF YOU GOT THE CUSTOM LINER THAT MATCHES THIS PRODUCT THEN YOU FOR SURE HAVE TO GET THIS ONE TO COMPLETE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR KITCHEN. ITS VERY SILENT AT LOW AND MEDIUM. A BIG FACTOR IN NOISE IS GONNA BE THE DUCT YOU ARE USING. 4 INCH IS USUALLY THE STANDAR BUT 6 INCH WITH THE BROAN RANGE HOOD THAT GOES WITH THIS LINER IS THE BEST. YOU WONT EVEN HEAR IT. ITS SO SO QUIET. I RECOMEND IT. DEFINETLY!

Easy Installation
Fits very nice in the cover that was built over the stove top. Completely covered with wood an out of sight.
