Kidde 2.5lb Rechargeable Fire Extinguisher

The Kidde Pro 2.5 MP-1 is a rechargeable, 2.5 lb ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher built for professional and commercial environments where code compliance and day-to-day durability both matter. Rated 1-A:10-B:C, it provides a dependable first line of defense against ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and energized electrical equipment in a compact, easy-to-handle size suited to offices, light industrial spaces, and similar commercial settings.

The unit is built with a seamless aluminum cylinder and an indexed forged valve body, giving it the durability of professional-grade hardware while keeping the overall weight manageable for quick deployment. A large-loop stainless steel pull pin allows the pin to be pulled even while wearing work gloves, and the bilingual graphic nameplate makes operating instructions clear under stress. An integrated pressure gauge lets anyone doing a walk-through inspection confirm charge status at a glance, and the unit ships standard with a wall hanger for fixed, code-compliant mounting.

Multipurpose ABC Suppression

The Pro 2.5 MP-1 uses a monoammonium phosphate dry chemical agent to address all three of the most common fire classes found in commercial settings:

• Class A (Ordinary Combustibles): The agent sinters under heat to form a crust over wood, paper, and trash fires, sealing the fuel surface and helping prevent re-ignition after initial knockdown.
• Class B (Flammable Liquids): The agent interrupts the chemical chain reaction in the flame zone, providing rapid knockdown on fuel, solvent, and oil fires.
• Class C (Electrical Equipment): The non-conductive agent allows safe use on energized panels, outlets, and equipment without risk of electrical shock to the operator.

Built for Long-Term Service

• Rechargeable Design: Rather than being a disposable unit, the Pro 2.5 MP-1 can be professionally serviced and recharged after discharge, reducing long-term replacement cost and waste compared to single-use extinguishers.
• Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Cylinder: The seamless aluminum tank resists corrosion better than painted steel alternatives in humid or high-traffic commercial environments.
• Forged Valve Assembly: The indexed forged valve body is built for professional longevity, standing up to repeated inspection handling and the general wear of commercial use better than lighter-duty consumer valve designs.

The Pro 2.5 MP-1 is sized for point-source and supplemental protection in commercial and light industrial settings:

• Offices and Reception Areas: A compact, code-compliant unit for mounting in corridors, breakrooms, and near electrical equipment in office environments.
• Light Industrial and Workshop Spaces: Suitable supplemental protection where ordinary combustibles and occasional flammable liquid or electrical hazards are present alongside other fire equipment.
• Boats and Marine Use: The compact size makes it a practical fit for engine compartments and cabins where space is limited.
• Kitchens and Break Areas: Useful general-purpose protection for the non-cooking-appliance areas of a kitchen or break area, though deep fryers and cooking oil hazards require a dedicated Class K wet chemical extinguisher.

The Pro 2.5 MP-1 meets code requirements when installed and maintained in accordance with NFPA 10. To keep the unit compliant and ready for use, follow this maintenance schedule:

• Monthly Visual Inspection: Verify the pressure gauge is in the green zone and the safety pin and tamper seal are intact. Confirm the unit is visible, accessible, and mounted in its wall hanger.
• Annual Professional Service: A certified technician must conduct an examination and verify the chemical's fluidity to prevent agent packing over time.
• 6-Year Internal Maintenance: Every six years, the agent must be recovered and the internal components inspected per NFPA 10.
• 12-Year Hydrostatic Test: Mandatory to verify the structural integrity of the aluminum cylinder.

Is this extinguisher rechargeable?

Yes. The Pro 2.5 MP-1 is designed to be professionally recharged after use rather than discarded, which lowers long-term replacement cost compared to disposable units. Recharging must be performed by a certified fire equipment technician.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

Yes. A wall hanger is included standard for fixed, code-compliant mounting in offices or light industrial spaces.

Can I use this on a kitchen grease fire?

No. While suitable for general kitchen and break area hazards involving ordinary combustibles or electrical equipment, this ABC unit is not rated for Class K cooking oil and grease fires. Commercial kitchens with deep fryers or similar cooking appliances need a dedicated Class K wet chemical extinguisher in addition to general-purpose units like this one.
