Kidde KN-COP-DP-10YB Carbon Monoxide Detector

Product Description

The KIDDE KN-COP-DP-10YB is a carbon monoxide detector designed for residential and light commercial applications. Carbon monoxide detectors sense the presence of CO gas — a colorless, odorless byproduct of incomplete combustion from furnaces, boilers, water heaters, generators, and other fuel-burning equipment. This unit is sold individually and is typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or general contractors as part of a code-compliant life-safety system. The DP designation in the part number indicates a dual-power configuration, and the 10YB suffix references a 10-year battery component, reducing long-term maintenance intervals.

This detector is suited for installation in residential homes, apartments, and light commercial spaces where fuel-burning appliances are present. It is commonly placed in sleeping areas, hallways adjacent to mechanical rooms, and living spaces per local code requirements. Jurisdictions following the International Fuel Gas Code or International Residential Code typically mandate CO detection near sleeping quarters and in proximity to attached garages or mechanical spaces housing gas-fired equipment.

Installation Notes

Carbon monoxide detectors of this type are installed by licensed electricians or HVAC technicians depending on local jurisdiction requirements. Before installation, consult the applicable IRC, IFC, or local amendment for required placement locations and mounting heights. Follow the manufacturer instructions included with the unit for final wiring or battery connection steps. Do not install in areas with excessive humidity, direct airflow from supply registers, or within 5 feet of fuel-burning appliance exhaust outlets unless the instructions specifically permit it.
