Acrylic rectangular convex mirror with adjustable arm, 160-degree field of view.

Rectangular convex mirror on an adjustable arm, 160-degree field of view

This rectangular convex mirror provides a 160-degree field of view with a sharper image than a round mirror. Its shape distorts the image less, takes up less space and gives a wider viewing angle, making it the right choice near industrial machinery or in store aisles, where it is important to clearly see what is approaching. Made of lightweight, flexible and durable acrylic, it is easy to adjust thanks to its adjustable arm and ball joint. It is designed for indoor use and, because of its large surface, is best installed away from wind.

Available in 4 sizes. Select the size you need from the drop-down menu.

Applications of the rectangular convex mirror near machinery and in stores

This mirror eliminates blind spots and improves safety in facilities, garages and warehouses. Use it to watch a room, hallway, aisle or entryway and help prevent accidents and shoplifting. It is recommended wherever a sharp image is needed, for example near industrial machinery or in store aisles.

Installing and adjusting the rectangular mirror on its adjustable arm

The mirror comes with a plastic ball joint, a metal L-bracket and a metal arm. The arm is pre-drilled every 1 ½ in (4 cm) to set its final length during installation, and the metal parts are painted black. It mounts on a wall, ceiling, column, fence or post, then tilts easily to the best viewing angle. The 12 in mirror comes without the metal arm, with the L-bracket only.

Sizing of the rectangular convex mirror

The nominal size of a rectangular convex mirror is its height and width, not including the adjustable arm.

Maintenance of the rectangular convex mirror

This first surface mirror has an exposed reflective coating that is not protected by glass. To protect the coating, the manufacturer recommends cleaning the mirror with furniture polish. Do not use glass cleaners: they could damage the reflective coating.

Suggestions to complement safety near machinery and in stores

For the stock clerk installing this mirror at the end of a warehouse store aisle, between the racking and the receiving area, a few pieces of protective equipment are essential. Sure Knit ANSI A7 cut-resistant gloves (GS13SXB) protect the hands from the edges of the metal bracket, and Virtua Max clear-lens glasses (YA11329) protect the eyes while drilling. An Americana helmet (TA222) protects the head under the racking, an orange high-visibility vest (V6672) keeps the clerk visible to forklift drivers, and corded earplugs (OA111) reduce noise in the receiving area.

To complete the layout, the round (M64) mirror on an adjustable arm covers areas where a very sharp image is not needed, and the full dome (M86) mirror watches a four-way intersection from the ceiling. During installation, isolate the area with an orange cone (EPTCONE28B) with two reflective collars or a yellow and black expandable barricade (EPT195). Mark the floor in front of machinery with yellow and black anti-skid (ECT749) tape, or with the 1 in black (ECT748) anti-skid tape.
