Wet Location Exit Signs

Wet-location exit signs feature weatherproof, gasketed cabinets that keep the 6-inch LED EXIT legend visible for 90 minutes through rain, spray, or hose-down. Choose red/green letters, single/double-face, and set field-selectable arrows for clear wayfinding at exterior doors and open-air corridors. Browse all exit signs, and for specialized environments see hazardous-location fixtures or pair with die-cast aluminum emergency lights.

Buyers Guide Tips

What to Look for in Wet-Location Exit Signs

  • Weatherable legend: 6-inch red/green LEDs with even illumination and UV-stable face—readable through spray, fog, and daylight glare; confirm “Wet Location” marking and NEMA/IP rating on the cabinet/trim set.
  • Faces, arrows, mounting: Single/double-face with sealed field-selectable chevrons; choose wall/ceiling/end mounts that maintain gasket compression and keep indicator/test visible after install.
  • Durability details: Corrosion-resistant hardware, impact-resistant lenses, and sealed knockouts; for parking decks/exterior doors, verify operating temperature and condensation mitigation.

Wet-location exit signs should be mounted so the 6-inch LED legend is readable through spray, fog, and daylight glare at approach distance. Set sealed, field-selectable chevrons during install, confirm projection clears doors/sprinklers, and seat gaskets evenly so the cabinet maintains its NEMA/IP seal.

For exterior doors, open-air corridors, and parking structures, choose UV-stable faces and impact-resistant lenses; verify operating temperature and condensation control when environments swing hot-to-cold. Place the indicator and test switch where inspectors can see them without entering the spray pattern.

  • Backup & temperature: Battery-backup models keep the legend lit for 90 minutes; verify operating temperature range and condensation mitigation for exterior doors/parking decks.
  • Cabinet durability: Corrosion-resistant hardware, sealed knockouts, and UV-stable trims; ensure projection clears doors/sprinklers while maintaining the NEMA/IP seal.

FAQs About Wet-Location Exit Signs

Wet vs. damp location—what’s the difference for exit signs?

“Damp” handles humidity/occasional condensation. “Wet” requires a sealed, gasketed cabinet (NEMA/IP) that withstands rain/spray. Use wet-location signs at exterior doors, parking decks, and hose-down areas.

Can I change chevrons without breaking the seal?

Yes—use models with sealed, field-selectable chevrons or internal knockouts that maintain gasket compression. Follow the manual; re-seat gaskets and torque fasteners after arrow changes.

How do I keep legends readable in sun, fog, or spray?

Specify UV-stable faces and high-contrast red/green LEDs. Mount at the prescribed height, verify approach sightlines, and avoid positions where glare or overspray obscures the letters.

Any cleaning guidelines?

Use non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths; avoid solvents that attack lenses or gaskets. After cleaning, inspect seals, conduit hubs, and the indicator/test for proper function.
