Drinking Water Double Sided Corridor Sign
A Drinking Water Double-Sided Corridor Sign identifies a safe water point from both directions, helping staff, visitors and the public in indoor corridors find drinkable water quickly. It supports clearer decisions where several taps or service areas could cause confusion.
Best Places to Position This Corridor Sign
Install it high on the wall directly above or beside the water point, using the projecting bracket so the message is visible from both corridor approaches. This matters where people may otherwise pass the outlet or confuse it with service water.
Viewing Distance Guidance
Use the 150 x 300mm option where people approach along a corridor rather than standing at the tap. In normal indoor lighting, check the sign at several points up to around 6 metres so the pictogram and wording can be read before a person reaches the water point.
| Size option | Practical viewing check | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 300mm | Check readability up to around 6 metres | Indoor corridors above drinking water points |
What Should Improve Once It Is Fitted
After installation, people should recognise the water point earlier and make faster decisions without asking staff. The main behaviour change is confidence: users can choose the correct tap, avoid unsuitable outlets and move through the corridor without hesitation.

Fitting Guidance Before You Drill
❌ Do not fit it too low, where people or equipment can block the view.
❌ Do not place it around a corner from the actual water point.
❌ Do not install it beside non-drinking water outlets unless the difference is already clear.
❌ Do not use it outside, in unlit areas or where a glowing sign is needed.
❌ Do not use it to approve an untested supply.
❌ Do not rely on it where a directional arrow sign is needed before the corridor entrance.
✅ Mount it high above or beside the confirmed drinking water point.
✅ Use the bracket so both faces project cleanly into the corridor.
✅ Check readability from both approach directions before tightening the final fixings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Drinking Water Double-Sided Corridor Sign right for a corridor? Yes. It is designed for indoor corridor mounting where people approach the water point from more than one direction.
Can I fit it outdoors? No. The supplied details state indoor display, so choose a different option for exposed external locations.
Does this sign prove the water is safe to drink? No. You should only install it where the water supply has already been confirmed as drinkable.
Are screws included? No. The wall bracket is included, but screws are not supplied, so use fixings suitable for your wall surface.
Will it glow in the dark? No. This is non-photoluminescent and non-reflective, so it should be placed where normal lighting makes it easy to read.
Why choose a double-sided sign instead of a flat wall sign? Choose this when the water point needs to be seen along the corridor before the person is directly in front of it.

More visible drinking water sign formats
For a sign that stands out from the wall, choose 3D drinking water projecting signs where side-on visibility matters. Useful near entrances, corridors and shared routes.
For straightforward placement at the water point, use clear wall-mounted drinking water signs where people need quick confirmation. A simple option for offices, schools and staff areas.
If you want a practical material option, compare polyester water point notices for everyday drinking water identification. Suitable where a light, easy-to-position sign is preferred.
For broader product selection, check the drinking water information sign range first. It gives you more ways to match visibility to the site layout.
