Parry CON1200 Condensate Canopy Steam Hood

The Parry CON1200 is a condensate canopy designed to capture and manage steam produced by commercial cooking and warewashing equipment. Rather than ducting steam out of the building via a mechanical extraction system, it collects moisture internally and drains it away — making it a practical solution in locations where full ductwork installation is not possible or where cooking volumes do not require active ventilation.

In working kitchens, unmanaged steam creates surface moisture, humidity, and condensation on walls and ceilings that can accelerate wear on surrounding fittings and equipment. A condensate canopy positioned directly over steam-producing equipment addresses this at source, keeping the immediate working area noticeably drier during service. It is commonly used above combination ovens, bain maries, and commercial steamers in kitchens where ductwork cannot be installed or where building regulations do not demand mechanical extraction for the cooking activity taking place.

The CON1200 is constructed throughout in stainless steel with a satin finish, which holds up reliably to the heat and moisture levels of a busy kitchen and wipes down easily. A drain tap is included, making routine cleaning and condensate removal straightforward without dismantling the unit. Optional removable condensation tray and baffle attachments are available, which can improve collection performance depending on the equipment positioned beneath. Parry can also adapt the canopy to bespoke dimensional requirements where space is constrained or equipment layout is non-standard.

• No fan motor required, reducing installation complexity and ongoing running costs
• Drain tap included for straightforward routine cleaning and condensate removal
• Stainless steel construction with satin finish for durability and easy maintenance
• Optional baffle and condensation tray attachments to improve steam capture
• Bespoke sizing available from Parry for non-standard kitchen layouts

It is important to be clear about what a condensate canopy is and is not. It is not a substitute for full mechanical extraction where cooking produces heavy grease-laden vapour, or where building regulations require active ventilation. It is best suited to steam-only or low-grease environments. For kitchens with higher cooking volumes, mixed cooking methods, or regulatory requirements for mechanical ventilation, a ducted extraction system is likely the more appropriate solution.
