Slim Thermoplastic Exit Sign with Universal Face Configuration - Red/Green Legend
The ETXTEU Thin Compact Thermoplastic Exit Sign delivers efficient LED illumination in a sleek, space-saving housing that’s ideal for tight corridors and retrofit installs. A field-selectable red or green EXIT legend and a universal single/double-face kit let you finish the job without stocking multiple SKUs. Optional battery-backup exit sign operation provides UL 924 90-minute egress support. With quick-mount hardware and a 120/277 VAC driver, this model aligns with our parent category of LED exit signage. For architectural panel aesthetics see edge-lit exit panels, or combine sign + egress lighting in one fixture with exit sign and emergency light combos.

Where the ETXTEU Fits Best
Choose ETXTEU when you need a compact, cost-effective sign that still checks every code box. Typical use cases include tenant improvements, office corridors, retail build-outs, schools, light industrial hallways, and multi-family common areas. The field-selectable legend (red/green) and universal face kit minimize change orders and simplify stocking, making it a practical choice wherever fire exit signs are required by code.
Installation & Code Tips
- Maintain clear sightlines to the EXIT legend from the direction of travel per NFPA 101. Mount height and spacing follow local AHJ interpretations.
- Use the push-to-test to document 30-second monthly and 90-minute annual tests; verify charge LED operation after AC is restored.
- For damp-location areas (e.g., covered outdoor entries), confirm ambient conditions fall within 0–50 °C. For hose-down exteriors or harsh environments, see weather-tough exit options or recessed alternatives in recessed-mount exit fixtures.
- If your jurisdiction mandates a specific legend color (e.g., some NYC projects require red), set the selector during commissioning.
