Frequently Asked Questions

What hose-down practices are recommended for this wet-location sign?

Standard washdown is acceptable. Keep nozzles at a sensible standoff, avoid abrasive cleaners, and do not direct concentrated spray under frame edges or into mounting penetrations.

How do I maintain the 100-ft rating in outdoor/wet areas?

Ensure the face receives ≥ 5 fc (54 lux) during occupancy from fixed area lighting. Place under overhangs or near luminaires, and avoid placements that are shaded by architectural projections or foliage.

Can I use this near sanitation or food-processing lines?

Yes—use 316 stainless hardware, neutral-cure silicone at penetrations, and mild soap solutions for cleaning. Avoid ammonia, oxidizers, and solvents that can haze the luminous surface.

What fasteners and sealants should I use in wet/corrosive environments?

Use 316 stainless anchors/screws with lock washers; apply a thin bead of neutral-cure silicone around mounting points. Avoid covering the EXIT legend or trapping water behind the sign.

Is this unit suitable for coastal or salt-spray exposure?

Yes, with corrosion-resistant hardware and periodic rinsing to remove salt deposits. Inspect fasteners during routine maintenance and replace at signs of corrosion.

Can I mount to chain-link fencing or swinging gates?

Yes—add a rigid backer (flat aluminum or polycarbonate panel) so the legend stays flat and readable. Avoid direct mounting to flexible mesh that can bow or vibrate.

Will rain, fog, or mist impact 100-ft recognition?

Precipitation reduces contrast at distance. Shorten spacing between signs in exposed areas and position units near dependable lighting or under protective overhangs.

What isn’t covered by the wet-location rating?

Submersion and hazardous-location (explosion-proof) use are not covered. For classified areas, consult your AHJ and choose a properly rated solution.
