The Kidde WC-100-1 KS Pro 6-Liter Class K Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher is designed for commercial kitchen cooking grease and oil fires. The wet chemical agent provides a greater firefighting capacity and cooling effect on grease fires than dry chemical agents. Stainless steel cylinder for durability. Safe gentle application prevents fire from splashing or spreading.
Why is a Class K extinguisher needed for commercial kitchens?
Commercial kitchens use high-efficiency cooking equipment and unsaturated vegetable oils that reach extremely high temperatures. Class K wet chemical extinguishers are specifically formulated to cool and suppress these fires, providing superior performance over dry chemical agents.
Can the Class K extinguisher be used on regular fires?
No. Class K extinguishers are for cooking oil and grease fires only. For general fires, use ABC dry chemical extinguishers. Having both types in a commercial kitchen is recommended.
Is Class K required by code?
Yes. NFPA 10 and most local fire codes require Class K extinguishers within 30 feet of commercial cooking equipment. Check your local AHJ for specific requirements.
