Overview
The Kidde Basic 110, model FA110G, is a 2.5 pound single-use dry chemical extinguisher rated 1-A:10-B:C for small home fires. Aluminum construction and a compact body make it suited to a kitchen, hallway or garage mount.
This is a disposable residential unit, not a rechargeable one: once discharged it is retired. The listed 12-year service-free design and 6-year limited warranty mean it can hang on a wall for years without inspection, and the pressure gauge lets you check the charge at a glance without any tools.
- 2.5 lb dry chemical agent, 1-A:10-B:C rated
- All-metal, powder-coated aluminum cylinder
- Easy-read pressure gauge and pull-pin safety
- UL listed, Coast Guard and DOT approved
Who it's for
Suited to homeowners and renters who want one basic extinguisher within reach of the kitchen or garage for a small, early-stage fire. Not the right choice for a workshop, boat or anyone who wants to recharge and reuse the same unit.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light aluminum body mounts easily near a stove or door
- Gauge shows charge status without opening anything
- UL listed with a 6-year limited warranty
- Comes with a wall strap bracket
- Single-use only, it cannot be recharged after discharge
- 2.5 lbs is a small capacity for anything beyond a starting fire
- 1-A rating is modest for wood or paper fires
Performance notes
The 1-A:10-B:C rating covers ordinary combustibles like wood and paper alongside flammable liquid and electrical fires, using 2.5 lbs of dry chemical agent discharged through a pull-pin trigger. The arrow gauge reads green when charged, and the powder-coated aluminum cylinder resists corrosion over long, unused stretches on the wall.

Questions about the Kidde fire extinguishers
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Can the Kidde Basic 110 be recharged after use?
No. It is a single-use residential extinguisher, so once discharged it should be replaced rather than refilled.
What size fires is the FA110G rated for?
It carries a 1-A:10-B:C rating, built for small fires involving wood, paper, trash, liquids, gases and electrical equipment, not large or spreading fires.
How do I know if it is still charged?
Check the pressure gauge on the front. When the arrow sits in the green zone, the unit is charged and ready.
