Key Features & Benefits
High-Visibility Red on White Color Scheme
The red on white color combination is the recognized standard for fire safety signage, ensuring the sign is immediately identifiable in an emergency. High contrast between the text, arrow, and background reduces the time needed to locate fire suppression equipment.
Directional Down Arrow
The integrated down arrow provides unambiguous directional guidance, indicating exactly where the fire extinguisher is mounted below the sign. This eliminates confusion in high-stress situations where every second counts.
Multiple Substrate Options
Available in 3M Engineer Grade Labels, Laminated Plastic Labels, 3M Engineer Grade Aluminum, Plastic, and 40 mil Aluminum, this sign can be specified for virtually any installation environment. Contractors can select a lightweight label for interior use or a rigid aluminum sign for demanding outdoor or industrial conditions.
Three Size Options
Offered in 5" x 7", 7" x 10", and 10" x 14" formats, the sign can be matched to the viewing distance and mounting location requirements of the specific job site. Larger sizes are appropriate for wide-open warehouse or industrial spaces, while smaller sizes suit confined or close-proximity installations.
Vertical Format
The vertical orientation is optimized for wall-mounted placement above fire extinguisher stations, making efficient use of vertical space while maximizing legibility from a distance.
