Kidde B0CHSF6T1C Vehicle Fire Extinguisher — Single-Use 10-B:C (Disposable BC Dry Chemical) Overview

What It Is Built For

Match the extinguisher to the fire class: A (ordinary combustibles), B (flammable liquids), C (energized electrical), K (cooking oils and fats). A multipurpose ABC dry-chemical extinguisher covers A, B and C. Mount it where it is accessible, check the pressure gauge monthly, and service or replace it per NFPA 10. An extinguisher is for small, incipient fires only — if the fire grows or the room fills with smoke, evacuate and call 911. Browse fire extinguishers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 10-B:C rating on the Kidde B0CHSF6T1C mean?

It means the extinguisher is UL-rated for Class B flammable-liquid fires (gasoline, oil, grease) at a 10 numeric level and for Class C energized-electrical fires. There is no Class A rating, so it is not rated for wood, paper, or cloth fires. See our guide on fire extinguisher classes explained for full definitions.

Is the Kidde B0CHSF6T1C rechargeable or single-use?

It is single-use (disposable). Once it discharges or the pressure gauge drops out of the green, you replace it rather than recharge it. If you want a serviceable unit, browse our rechargeable extinguishers collection instead.

Is this extinguisher good for a car or truck?

Yes — that is its purpose. The 10-B:C rating targets fuel and electrical fires, the most common vehicle fire hazards, and the compact body is made for in-vehicle mounting. Per NFPA 10, mount it within reach of the driver.

Can I use the Kidde B0CHSF6T1C for a house fire?

Only partially. It handles Class B and C fires but has no Class A rating, so it should not be your whole-home extinguisher for wood, upholstery, or paper fires. For that, choose an ABC dry chemical extinguisher with a Class A rating.

What type of agent does it use?

It is a BC-type dry-chemical extinguisher, which uses sodium bicarbonate agent. That chemistry is highly effective on flammable-liquid and energized-electrical fires. It is not the multipurpose ABC monoammonium phosphate agent.

Will it work on a kitchen grease fire?

BC dry chemical can knock down a small grease flare-up, but this model carries no Class K rating, which is the standard for cooking-oil and deep-fryer fires. For kitchens with fryers, use a kitchen K-class extinguisher.

What is the agent weight of the Kidde B0CHSF6T1C?

The product listing does not publish a specific agent weight for this SKU, so we do not state one to avoid giving you an inaccurate figure. The UL 10-B:C rating is the reliable measure of its B and C firefighting capacity; check Kidde's spec sheet for fill weight.

How is this different from the Kidde FA110G?

The FA110G is rated 1-A:10-B:C, so it adds Class A coverage for ordinary combustibles, making it a better general home unit. This B0CHSF6T1C is 10-B:C only — optimized for vehicle fuel and electrical fires without Class A. Compare both in best fire extinguishers 2026.

How is it different from the Kidde B0CB9GFZ9M Basic?

Both are single-use BC extinguishers, but this B0CHSF6T1C is rated 10-B:C versus the Basic's 5-B:C, giving it a higher Class B firefighting capacity. Choose this one for stronger flammable-liquid coverage in a vehicle or garage.

How do I mount it in my vehicle?

The compact body is designed for vehicle mounting — secure it where the driver can reach it without leaving the seat, such as under a seat or in the trunk near the access point. Keep it out of direct, prolonged heat and check the gauge regularly.

How do I know when to replace it?

Replace it after any discharge, even a partial one, since it cannot be recharged. Also replace it if the pressure indicator falls out of the green zone or the unit shows damage or corrosion. Single-use extinguishers are meant to be swapped, not serviced.

Does this meet NFPA 10 for my vehicle?

NFPA 10 requires an extinguisher matched to the likely fuel load and mounted within reach. This unit's 10-B:C rating covers the flammable-liquid and electrical hazards typical of vehicles. Confirm any fleet, commercial, or marine (USCG) size requirement that applies to you, as those specifics are not stated on this SKU. For class background, see fire extinguisher classes explained.
