Brand
Kidde
Kidde is a fire protection brand founded in 1917 in New Jersey by engineer Walter Kidde. After buying the rights to a steam-based shipboard fire system, Kidde replaced the steam with carbon dioxide, and the company went on to build the first portable CO2 extinguisher and the first built-in industrial CO2 system in the mid-1920s. Since December 2024 the Kidde brand has belonged to Kidde Global Solutions. Seven Star LLC lists Kidde clean agent cylinders, control heads and pilot cylinders, and supplies Kidde fire systems parts to operators and fire contractors in Oman as an independent supplier. Household smoke alarms and aircraft systems sold under the same name are outside our scope.

FAQ
Questions about Kidde
Common questions about Kidde equipment, part numbers and supply to Oman and the GCC.
01How do I identify a Kidde control head or cylinder?
Each Kidde component has a part number on its label, often with a WK- prefix and a suffix, as in WK-890181-000. Cylinders also carry stamped data and a label with agent type, fill weight and pressurization. Send photos of the label and stampings, and the part numbers from your system manual, and we will match them in the manufacturer's parts data.
02Why is the fill weight needed for an FM-200 cylinder?
A clean agent cylinder of a given size can be filled over a range of agent weights, and the engineered design for your room fixes the exact quantity. A 200 lb cylinder is therefore not a complete description. We need the fill weight from the cylinder label or the design calculation, the valve and outlet arrangement, and the bracket details.
03Can control heads from different Kidde systems be interchanged?
Not without checking. Electric, pneumatic, cable and lever control heads exist in several versions with different voltages, hazardous-area ratings and mounting threads, and system listings are based on specific part numbers. Always order the same part number as the original, or let us check the manufacturer's documentation for the superseding number it has published.
04Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Kidde?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier, not an authorized distributor or agent of Kidde. We source Kidde suppression components through commercial channels, verify part numbers against the manufacturer's documentation, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and the documents the manufacturer issues with the order, on request. System design and acceptance remain with your fire contractor.
05Which approvals apply to Kidde suppression components?
Kidde engineered systems are listed and approved as complete systems, typically by UL and FM, and not as loose parts. The listing covers defined combinations of cylinders, valves, control heads and nozzles. Tell us which approval your project needs and we will check that the part number is covered in the manufacturer's documents.
