About this product
This bundle from Kidde offers comprehensive home protection against fire and carbon monoxide gas, providing peace of mind for homeowners and renters alike. It combines a reliable smoke detection system with dedicated carbon monoxide monitoring, addressing two distinct but equally serious threats to safety within the home. The dual-protection approach is particularly beneficial for properties where fuel burning appliances are present, such as those with log burners, boilers, or cookers.
The kit includes the Kidde 10Y29 Smoke Alarm, powered by a sealed 10 year battery designed to last the entire life of the alarm and backed by a 10-year warranty. This alarm utilizes optical sensing technology for accurate smoke detection with reduced nuisance alarms. Alongside it is the Kidde K5CO Carbon Monoxide Detector, which operates on two AA replaceable batteries and features an 85dB alarm sounder alongside a 7 year manufacturer's warranty. Both units are lightweight and designed to integrate seamlessly into your home environment.
Each device comes complete with screws and rawl plugs for straightforward mounting, simplifying the installation process. The alarms are CE marked, UKCA marked and Kitemarked to relevant British Standards, demonstrating their compliance with rigorous safety regulations. The 10Y29 is certified to BS EN 14604: 2005, while the K5CO is certified to BS EN 50291-1: 2018.
Please note that this is a set of two standalone units; they are not interlinked and do not automatically alert you if one detects a problem. This kit provides essential protection and is supplied with batteries included, ready for immediate use.
