Bobrick 165 1824 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Bobrick B-165 channel-frame mirror come in?
Eight sizes, all listed width by height: 18 x 24, 18 x 30, 18 x 36, 24 x 30, 24 x 36, 24 x 48, 24 x 60, and 48 x 36 inches. Model numbers follow the size, so a 24 x 36 is the B-165 2436 and the 48-inch-wide one is the B-165 4836. For a standard lavatory in a commercial restroom the 18 x 30 and 24 x 30 are the usual picks; the 24 x 60 is the full-height option over a single bowl, and the 48 x 36 covers a two-bowl counter.
2) How does the Bobrick B-165 mirror mount to the wall, and can it be pulled off?
It hangs on a concealed wall hanger with theft-resistant mounting, which is why it suits public and multi-family restrooms. The hanger goes on the wall first, then the one-piece mirror drops onto it, so there is no exposed fastener at the face for someone to back out. It is a surface-mounted, wall-mounted unit, not a recessed one, so no wall cavity or rough-in is needed.
3) If the mirror glass gets broken, do I have to replace the whole Bobrick B-165 unit?
No. The glass is replaceable through the frame screw, so a maintenance tech pulls the screw, swaps in new No. 1 quality 1/4-inch glass, and reuses the frame and the wall hanger. That is the reason this mirror gets specified in schools, correctional-adjacent, and heavy-traffic public restrooms where breakage is a when, not an if.
4) Is the Bobrick B-165 mirror ADA compliant?
The B-165 is listed as ADA compliant. Compliance on a restroom mirror is about mounting height, not the mirror itself: the reflecting surface has to start no higher than 40 inches above the floor. The taller sizes make that easy, since a 24 x 60 or a 24 x 48 mounted at a normal height still has its bottom edge well under 40 inches. With an 18 x 24, you have to set the mounting height deliberately to hit it.
5) What is the frame on the Bobrick B-165 made of, and will it hold up in a wet restroom?
Type 430 stainless steel channel frame in a bright-polished finish, with mitered corners. The back is galvanized steel. Type 430 is a ferritic stainless that handles normal restroom humidity and cleaning; it is not the 304 you would want in a pool deck, coastal, or chemically aggressive environment. For standard commercial, office, school, and multi-family restrooms it is the usual specification.
6) Is a channel-frame mirror the right choice, or should I use a welded angle-frame mirror?
A channel frame like the B-165 is the light-duty commercial standard: a rolled stainless channel with mitered corners that holds the glass, with the glass serviceable through a frame screw. Choose it when you want a clean bright-polished edge and the ability to replace glass in place. A welded angle-frame mirror is the heavier option for abuse-prone or high-vandalism openings, where the frame is welded rather than screwed together. If the restroom is standard office, retail, school, or multi-family traffic, the channel frame is what gets specified.
7) I need to standardize mirrors across a building. Can I mix B-165 sizes and still have them match?
Yes, and that is the point of buying one series. Every size in the B-165 range uses the same bright-polished Type 430 channel frame, the same mitered corners, and the same concealed hanger, so an 18 x 24 in a single-occupancy restroom and a 48 x 36 over a two-bowl counter read as the same product on the wall. It also means one spare glass program and one mounting method for the whole facility.
8) Is the Bobrick B-165 a lighted or tilted mirror?
Neither. It is a flat, unlighted mirror, surface mounted flush against the wall with no integral lighting and no tilt. If the drawing calls for a tilted mirror at an accessible lavatory or a lighted unit, the B-165 is not that part.
9) What thickness is the glass in the Bobrick B-165, and what quality grade?
1/4-inch glass, No. 1 quality, which is the grade specified for commercial mirrors where distortion at the edges matters. That thickness is also why the unit is heavy enough to want the concealed hanger properly anchored into blocking or a hollow-wall anchor rated for the size you are hanging, especially at 24 x 60 or 48 x 36.
