Wet Location Exit Sign Selection Guide

An exit sign only helps if it survives its environment, and standard signs corrode in moisture and fail in cold. Wet location exit signs add a gasketed housing and a temperature rated battery so the EXIT legend stays visible through rain, washdown, and freezing drafts. They belong to the Exit Signs group within Exit and Emergency Lighting. Pair them with Wet Location Emergency Lights to light the path below.

Match the Exit Sign to the Environment

Match the construction and rating to the exposure, from damp parking to full washdown.

Legend, Color, and Visibility

Confirm the legend color your jurisdiction requires, since some areas mandate red and others green. The sign must be visible from the egress path and from the required viewing distance, so place it where it reads clearly around corners and down ramps. Single and double face versions cover approaches from one or both directions.

Battery, Testing, and Mounting

Wet location signs include battery backup so the legend stays lit for the code required time during a power loss, with a cold rated battery for freezing areas. Self testing models document compliance for outdoor and hard to reach locations. Mount per the manufacturer template for ceiling, end, or wall approaches, and verify requirements with your authority having jurisdiction. For the full egress system, see Exit and Emergency Lighting.
