About the Product
This attachment keeps your water pipe cleaner and makes every hit smoother. Choose the 45° angle for diagonal joints or the 90° angle for vertical ones.
This is the accessory your water pipe has been missing. Our Bell Shape Ash Catcher does two things very well: it traps ash before it dirties your piece, and it adds another layer of cooling for smoother hits. We make it from clear 2mm borosilicate glass, so it's a tough and effective upgrade for your setup.
You can get it with a 14mm male joint in a 45° or 90° angle to fit most water pipes. The showerhead perc inside forces smoke through water for great filtering and cooling. Its special bell shape gives it a stable base and holds plenty of water for top-notch filtration.
- Keeps your main water pipe much cleaner for longer.
- Adds a second layer of water filtration for smoother, cooler smoke.
- Fits 14mm female joints at 45° or 90° angles.
- Made from strong 2mm thick borosilicate glass.

What Features Make It Effective?
Beyond the basic specs, our design choices directly improve your experience. The showerhead perc and bell shape work together to deliver great performance.
How Does The Showerhead Perc Improve Hits?
The showerhead percolator is the engine of this ash catcher. It's a vertical tube with slits at the bottom. When you pull, smoke is forced through the slits, creating tons of bubbles. This process cools the smoke and filters out ash, giving you a much smoother and cleaner hit that's less harsh.
Why Choose A Bell Shape Design?
The bell shape is for function, not just for looks. The wider base provides better stability when attached to your water pipe, which helps prevent tipping. This shape also holds a good amount of water in a small space, ensuring the perc is fully submerged for the best filtration without making your setup feel top-heavy.
- The showerhead perc cools smoke by forcing it through water.
- The bell shape adds stability with its low center of gravity.
Will This Ash Catcher Fit My Bong?
Choosing the right ash catcher is all about the fit. Use this checklist to see if our Bell Shape Showerhead model is right for your water pipe.
- Check Your Joint Size: Does your piece have a 14mm joint? Our ash catcher has a 14mm male joint, which fits into a 14mm female joint.
- Confirm Your Joint Gender: Is the joint on your water pipe female? This is key, as the male joint of the ash catcher fits inside a female joint.
- Determine the Angle: Is your downstem angled at 45 degrees or sticking straight up at 90 degrees? Order the matching angle to make sure the ash catcher sits upright.
- Measure for Clearance: Is there enough space around your joint? The bell shape is wider than a simple tube, so ensure it won't bump into the base of your bong.
- Consider the Weight: While designed to be stable, adding any accessory adds weight. This is best for medium to large-sized water pipes.
- Define Your Goal: Is your main goal to keep your piece clean and get smoother hits? If yes, this ash catcher is a perfect choice.
- An ash catcher's angle must match the joint angle of the water pipe.
- Mismatched joint sizes, like 14mm to 18mm, will need an adapter.
How Do I Use This Ash Catcher?
Adding this ash catcher to your routine is simple. Follow these steps for a clean and smooth session.
- Fill with Water: Add a small amount of cold water through the male joint until the showerhead perc slits are just covered.
- Attach to Your Piece: Gently insert the 14mm male joint of the ash catcher into the 14mm female joint of your water pipe for a snug fit.
- Pack Your Bowl: Place your bowl into the female joint at the top of the ash catcher.
- Perform a Test Pull: Take a small, dry pull to check the water level. If it splashes, empty a little water. If it doesn't bubble, add a bit more.
- Enjoy Your Session: Use your water pipe as you normally would, and notice how the ash stays in the catcher.
- Clean Regularly: After your session, carefully remove the ash catcher, empty the dirty water, and rinse to prevent buildup.
- The right water level is key for good function without splashback.
- Rinsing it after each use makes deep cleaning much easier.

How Do I Maintain It?
Keeping your Bell Shape Ash Catcher clean is key for great performance and taste. It will get dirty faster than your main piece because it traps all the gunk—that's its job! Regular cleaning is quick and easy.
What Is The Best Way To Clean A Glass Ash Catcher?
For a deep clean, use isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt. First, rinse the ash catcher with hot water to remove loose debris. Then, add coarse salt and enough alcohol to cover the perc. Cover the joints and shake it well for 30-60 seconds. The salt scrubs the inside clean. Pour out the dirty liquid, rinse well with hot water, and let it air dry before using it again.
- Isopropyl alcohol and salt is the go-to method for cleaning glass accessories.
- Rinsing with hot water often can reduce how often you need to deep clean.
