HITTN 4 ARM TREE PERC GLASS ASH CATCHER

The design of this ash catcher provides powerful diffusion and a durable structure. Its key features improve your experience, from the heat-resistant material to the percolator's filtering action.

• A 4-arm tree perc sends smoke through multiple diffusion slits.
• Borosilicate glass construction offers great chemical and heat resistance.
• Available in multiple sizes and angles to fit most standard water pipes.

Choosing the correct size and angle is the most important step to ensure a stable, leak-proof fit. This quick guide will help you find the right match for your water pipe.

How Do I Choose The Right Joint Size (14mm vs 18mm)?

Joint size is the diameter of your bong's connection point. You can use a U.S. dime to check your joint size. If a dime fits loosely inside, you likely need an 18mm. If it rests on top without falling in, you need a 14mm. This ash catcher is available for both common sizes to ensure a snug fit.

What Angle Do I Need For My Water Pipe (45° Vs 90°)?

The angle makes sure your ash catcher sits upright. Look at where the downstem enters your bong. If it enters at a slant (common for beaker bongs), pick the 45° angle. If it enters straight up and down (common on straight tubes), choose the 90° angle.

• Choose the 45° angle for bongs with a slanted downstem, like beakers.
• Choose the 90° angle for bongs with a vertical downstem, like straight tubes.
• A dime can quickly help you tell if your joint is 14mm or 18mm.

This accessory is more than a simple debris trap. Its internal design is made to actively improve your session's quality with better filtration and a smart design.

Is This Ash Catcher Right For You?

• ✅ You want noticeably smoother, cooler hits from your current bong.
• ✅ You are tired of cleaning ash and resin out of your main chamber.
• ✅ Your bong has a standard 14mm or 18mm female joint.
• ✅ You need an accessory for either a beaker (45°) or straight tube (90°) design.
• ✅ You prefer the high-diffusion performance of a tree percolator.

How Does The 4-Arm Perc Create Smoother Hits?

The 4-arm tree percolator is a classic for good reason. As smoke is pulled in, it's forced through the four arms and out of many small slits. This action breaks up the smoke into tiny bubbles, increasing its contact with the water. This process cools the smoke and filters out impurities, resulting in a much less harsh draw.

Will This Keep My Primary Water Pipe Cleaner?

Absolutely. The ash catcher's main job is to act as a gatekeeper. It traps most of the burnt material, ash, and heavy tars that would normally enter your bong. By containing the mess in a small, easy-to-clean accessory, you can clean your main piece much less often.

• The tree perc diffuses smoke for a cooler and less harsh inhale.
• It traps ash and resin, which greatly reduces bong cleaning time.
• It works as an effective splash guard, keeping water out of your bowl.

Getting started takes less than a minute. Follow these simple steps for the best performance and to avoid issues like splashback or a wobbly fit.

1. Fill with Water: Add just enough cool water to cover the percolator slits on the arms.
2. Check Water Level: Gently tilt the ash catcher to ensure water doesn't spill out. If it does, pour a little out.
3. Attach to Bong: Securely insert the ash catcher's male joint into your bong's female joint. Make sure it's snug.
4. Insert Your Bowl: Place your packed bowl into the top joint of the ash catcher.
5. Test the Draw: Before lighting, take a gentle pull to test the airflow. You should hear the perc bubble without getting splashback.
6. Enjoy the Session: Light your bowl and enjoy a smoother, cleaner experience.

• Only use enough water to submerge the percolator slits.
• Overfilling can cause water to splash back into your bowl.
• Always make sure the joint has a snug fit to prevent wobbling or air leaks.

While the 4-arm tree perc is excellent for diffusion, other percolator types offer different benefits. Here’s a quick comparison of popular ash catcher styles you might find for under $35.

• Tree percs provide better smoke cooling compared to simpler designs.
• Showerhead percs are often easier to clean and have less drag.
• Honeycomb discs create a dramatic visual of stacking bubbles with low resistance.

Keeping your ash catcher clean is simple and makes sure it performs its best. Since it traps most of the debris, a quick rinse after a few sessions can help. We recommend a deep clean once a week for heavy users.

1. Empty Old Water: Start by dumping the dirty water from the ash catcher.
2. Add Cleaning Solution: Pour in a mixture of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt.
3. Seal and Shake: Cover the joints with your fingers or plugs and shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds. The salt scrubs the resin.
4. Soak if Needed: For stubborn buildup, let it soak for 30 minutes.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse completely with warm water until all alcohol and residue are gone. Let it air dry before use.

• Rinsing often helps prevent heavy resin from building up in the arms.
• Isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt will effectively scrub away tar.
• Always rinse well with water to remove all of the cleaning solution.
