Wet Location Exit Signs

Wet-location exit signs keep the 6-inch LED EXIT legend visible through rain, spray, and hose-down in a gasketed, weatherproof cabinet. For a broader overview, see exit signs.

UL 924 NEMA / IP Rated 6" Letters Single / Double Face Field-Selectable Arrows Red / Green Legend
Buyers Guide Tips
  • Confirm cabinet rating (NEMA/IP) and “Wet Location” marking for hose-down or exterior exposure.
  • Set sealed, field-selectable chevrons; check projection and clearances at doors/sprinklers.
  • Use corrosion-resistant hardware and maintain gasket compression at the chosen mount.
  • Choose UV-stable faces and verify operating temperature for hot-to-cold swings.
  • Place indicator/test where inspectors can see it without entering the spray pattern.
  • If you need heads in the same enclosure, select a combo unit (see sibling category above).

Definition: Wet-location exit signs are designed for exterior and hose-down areas, using sealed cabinets and gaskets to keep the legend readable in spray and wind-driven rain.

FAQs About Wet Location Exit Signs

What’s the difference between damp-location and wet-location exit signs?

Damp-location models handle humidity/occasional condensation. Wet-location models are sealed for direct water exposure (rain, spray, hose-down) and use gasketed enclosures.

Do wet-location exit signs always include battery backup?

Not always. Options include AC-only, battery-backup LED, and non-electrical types (photoluminescent or tritium). Verify your code requirements and the model’s listing/markings.

When should I choose NEMA 4X vs. IP66 for outdoor/washdown installs?

Pick IP66 for strong jet/spray protection. Choose NEMA 4X when you also need corrosion resistance—common in washdown, coastal, or chemical environments. Many models carry both ratings.

What mounting and arrow options are typical?

Most wet-location cabinets support ceiling, wall, or end mount. Field-selectable chevrons (arrows) let you set direction on site; keep gaskets seated and fasteners corrosion-resistant.

How should I test and maintain exit signs installed in wet areas?

For battery-backup models, follow periodic functional tests and indicator checks per listing and local code. Inspect gasketing, hardware, and lens condition as part of routine maintenance.
