This Grace Glass ash catcher keeps your bong cleaner and lets you use 14mm bowls on an 18mm piece. As an expert tip: pick the 45° angle for beaker bongs and the 90° for straight tubes to ensure a proper fit.
The Grace Glass Ash Catcher is a smart upgrade for keeping your water pipe clean and expanding your bowl options. This attachment does two main jobs. First, it works as a filter to catch ash and resin before they make your main piece dirty. Second, it converts your bong's 18mm female joint to fit a 14mm male bowl.
Made from tough borosilicate glass, this ash catcher is built to last through regular use and cleaning. It adds an extra water chamber for more diffusion, which helps cool the smoke for a smoother hit. It's a simple, effective tool for a better session, from start to finish.
Understanding the key details ensures this is the right part for your setup.
| Specification | Value | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Joint Conversion | 18mm Male to 14mm Female | Connects to 18mm bongs and holds your favorite 14mm bowls. |
| Joint Angle | 45° or 90° (Select Option) | Keeps your bowl sitting upright; match the angle to your bong's joint. |

| Brand | Grace Glass | A well-known name in glass, recognized for quality and functional designs. |
This accessory works as a frontline defense against debris. When you use your piece, ash is pulled down through the bowl. Instead of going directly into your bong's main chamber, it gets caught in the ash catcher's separate chamber. This simple function means your bong stays much cleaner for longer, reducing how often you need to do a full clean.
If you have an 18mm bong but a favorite 14mm bowl, this ash catcher bridges that gap. The 18mm male joint on the catcher fits securely into your bong's 18mm female joint. The top of the ash catcher has a 14mm female joint, perfectly sized for any 14mm male bowl. This adapts your piece without needing a separate adapter, giving you more flexibility.
Grace Glass ash catchers often include a percolator to improve diffusion. While the specific type can vary, styles like showerhead or matrix percs are designed to create bubbles that cool and filter the smoke. This not only makes hits feel smoother but also helps trap more debris. Check the product options to confirm the exact percolator for the model you select.
Choosing the correct angle is key for stability and function. As a general rule, you should match the angle of the ash catcher to the angle of the joint on your bong.
Using the wrong angle can cause the bowl to sit crooked or make the bong unstable.
