About the original
The Kidde FX340GW is a 3.5-pound multipurpose dry-chemical fire extinguisher rated 3-A:40-B:C, with a corrosion-resistant steel cylinder, a metal pull pin and valve, and a pressure gauge for at-a-glance status checks, certified for home, garage, and workshop use. Kidde was founded in 1917 by Walter Kidde in Belleville, New Jersey, originally manufacturing marine fire-suppression systems for cargo ships; today it is one of the most widely distributed residential fire-protection brands in North America and is a subsidiary of Carrier Global. The SS2015 Supreme collab adds a horizontal white box logo across the standard red canister; the extinguisher itself is the stock FX340GW, which retails for around $50.
