Kidde Basic 110 Fire Extinguisher for Home, 1-A:10-B:C, FA110G, 1 Pack
The Kidde Basic 110 FA110G is a compact, single-use residential fire extinguisher designed for common Class A, B, and C household fire risks. Its aluminum cylinder, pressure gauge, clear instructions, and included wall-mount bracket are intended to make emergency placement and readiness more straightforward.
Why We Like It
This Kidde model focuses on the common fire categories a household extinguisher may need to address: ordinary combustibles such as wood and paper, flammable liquids and gases, and energized electrical equipment. Its compact aluminum construction and included strap bracket can make it easier to keep within reach rather than storing it out of sight.
The visible pressure indicator and printed PASS instructions provide quick reference points for routine checks and emergency operation. The supplied customer-review summary also indicates that many customers value its compact size, clear instructions, and suitability for locations such as kitchens, garages, apartments, and vehicles.
Key Features
- 1-A:10-B:C classification for basic fires involving trash, wood, paper, liquids, gases, and electrical equipment.
- Contains 2.5 pounds of monoammonium phosphate dry chemical extinguishing agent.
- Compact aluminum cylinder with a powder-coated finish for corrosion protection.
- Easy-to-read pressure gauge indicates charge status when the arrow is in the green area.
- Easy-pull safety pin, steel handle, and clear operating instructions using the PASS method.

Who It’s Best For
This extinguisher may suit homeowners, apartment residents, dorm occupants, or office users who want a compact wall-mountable extinguisher for common household fire hazards. It is particularly relevant for locations where wood, paper, trash, cooking-related liquids or gases, and electrical equipment may be present.
Because it is a residential, single-use model, it is better suited to buyers who are comfortable replacing it after use, discharge, or when it reaches 12 years old.

How It Compares
Compared with fire extinguishers intended for a narrower fire category, this model is designed to cover Class A, B, and C household risks in one unit. Its 2.5-pound agent capacity and compact dimensions favor accessible placement in smaller residential spaces. Buyers needing an extinguisher specifically for computers or similar equipment should note the manufacturer information says this dry-chemical model is not recommended for that use.
Things to Consider Before Buying
- This is a residential, single-use extinguisher and should be disposed of and replaced after use or discharge.
- The supplied information instructs owners to replace the extinguisher when it is over 12 years old.
- Monoammonium phosphate dry chemical is described as non-toxic, but it may cause skin irritation.
- The manufacturer information does not recommend this extinguisher for computers or similar equipment.
- The bracket is included, though the supplied customer-review summary shows mixed feedback about mounting hardware and reports from some customers involving missing safety pins. Check the unit and included components on arrival before installation.
ANICOM Verdict
The Kidde Basic 110 appears well suited to households seeking a compact, wall-mountable extinguisher for several common residential fire categories. Its clear gauge, PASS instructions, included bracket, and 1-A:10-B:C classification support straightforward emergency placement, while its single-use design and equipment-use limitations are important factors to understand before buying.
