How to Choose a Kidde ABC Fire Extinguisher
When selecting among Kidde ABC extinguishers, consider the extinguisher's UL rating, agent capacity, physical size and mounting configuration. The appropriate choice depends on the hazards present, the location where the extinguisher will be installed and applicable fire protection requirements.
Kidde 2.5 lb ABC Extinguishers
The Kidde 21032136 and 21032138 are compact 2.5 lb Pro Series extinguishers rated 1A:10B:C. The 21032136 is configured with a wall hanger for stationary installations, while the 21032138 includes a vehicle bracket for mobile applications.
Kidde 5.5 lb ABC Extinguishers
The Kidde 21032142 and 21032143 increase capacity and fire rating to 5.5 lb and 3A:40B:C. Model 21032142 is supplied with a wall hanger, while model 21032143 includes a metal vehicle bracket. These models provide a versatile option for commercial facilities, workshops, maintenance operations and fleet applications.
Kidde 10 lb ABC Extinguisher
Kidde 21032149 is a larger Pro Series ABC extinguisher with a 10 lb dry chemical capacity and a 4A:60B:C rating. It is designed for commercial and industrial locations where greater extinguishing-agent capacity and a higher fire rating are required.
Kidde 20 lb ABC Extinguisher
Kidde 21032152 is the largest ABC extinguisher in this group, providing a 20 lb dry chemical capacity and a 6A:80B:C rating. This higher-capacity model is suited to commercial and industrial applications requiring a larger extinguisher and greater fire-fighting capability.
Selecting by size alone is not recommended.
The appropriate Kidde extinguisher should be selected according to the fire hazards present, required rating, installation location and applicable fire protection requirements. A larger extinguisher provides more agent capacity but is also heavier to carry and operate.

Kidde Wall-Hanger vs. Vehicle-Bracket Models
One important difference within the Kidde Pro Series is the mounting configuration. Kidde offers similar extinguisher capacities and ratings with different mounting hardware so buyers can select the configuration appropriate for a stationary facility or mobile installation.
| Configuration | Typical Application |
| Wall Hanger | Offices, warehouses, industrial facilities, maintenance areas and other stationary installations. |
| Vehicle Bracket | Fleet vehicles, service trucks and other mobile installations where the extinguisher must remain securely retained during movement and vibration. |
Kidde Replacement Part Numbers
Kidde has updated the part numbers for several Pro Series fire extinguishers. Buyers replacing an existing extinguisher may therefore find an older Kidde number on purchasing records, inspection documents or the extinguisher being replaced.
| Current Kidde Part Number | Former Kidde Part Number |
| 21032142 | 466112 |
| 21032143 | 46611201 |
| 21032149 | 466204 |
| 21032152 | 466206 |
When replacing an older Kidde extinguisher, compare the current product specifications, fire rating and mounting configuration rather than relying on the former part number alone.

Kidde ABC Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Maintenance
Kidde Pro Series ABC extinguishers are rechargeable units designed to be incorporated into an appropriate inspection and maintenance program. Extinguishers should remain accessible, properly mounted and ready for use, with inspection and servicing performed according to Kidde instructions and applicable fire protection requirements.
