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 like a conventional extraction canopy, it collects condensation internally and drains it away — making it a practical option in locations where full mechanical extraction is impractical or unnecessary.

In busy kitchen environments, unmanaged steam leads to surface moisture, condensation on walls and ceilings, and general humidity that accelerates wear on surrounding equipment and fittings. A condensate canopy positioned over steam-producing equipment addresses that problem directly, keeping the immediate working area noticeably drier during service without requiring fan-powered extraction. It is commonly used above combination ovens, bain maries, and steamer units in kitchens where ductwork cannot be installed or where ventilation regulations do not demand mechanical extraction for the volume of cooking taking place.

The CON1200 is constructed throughout in stainless steel with a satin finish, which holds up well to the heat and moisture of a commercial kitchen and wipes down easily. A drain tap is included, making routine cleaning and condensate removal straightforward without needing to dismantle 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 specific dimensional requirements — useful where space is constrained or equipment layout is non-standard.

• Suitable for sites where ducted extraction is not feasible
• Easy to clean with standard wipe-down and drain tap access
• Adaptable to bespoke sizing requirements on request
• No fan required, reducing installation complexity and running costs

It is worth noting that a condensate canopy is not a substitute for full mechanical extraction where cooking involves heavy grease-laden vapour or where building regulations require active ventilation. It is best suited to steam-only or low-grease environments. For sites with higher cooking volumes or mixed cooking methods, a full extraction system may be the more appropriate route.
